The person that owns the 22 acres around me offered to sell me 15. We negotiated for three weeks and finally came to an agreement. I won the price war but lost the acreage as I wanted all 22. My 5 acres seems like it’s bigger and the previous owner told me it’s actually 7. I’m having it surveyed so should know in a few weeks. Wish me well on the sale closing.

Ah, the expansion of the Northwoods sanctuary begins. Well done, Gene.

That's a sizable chunk of north woods. I could do all kinds of fun things with an extra 15 acres. Congrats, Gene.

Congrats, we have 21 here in Oklahoma. The farmhouse sits on an acre, then the 20 acres of pasture and woods. We like it. If the neighbor with 60 acres of hayfield offered us another 10 or 20, we'd buy it. I'd like to buy all 60, but this late in life... I'd have to think long and hard....

Nothing is certain yet. I could still end up with zero or twenty-two. For the most part nothing will change except I can say I own it and pay the taxes which shouldn’t be very much as it’s considered farmland.

That’s what a lot of the neighbors have. Most don’t use the roads and it’s common to see them going in a straight line which means cutting across each other fields.

I have one and I love it, however, they DO tear up the turf/ground.
