I Has This Farm
I guess that makes me a farmer.
Here it is in Google Earth
As you can see, there are four main sections: forest, north pasture, farmhouse compound, and south hayfield.
Forest: There's quite a bit of terrain in there, sloping downward to the north. One tire pile. One assorted trash heap. Beer bottles everywhere. All must go.
North pasture: The former owner had sheep. The fence will contain sheep. It will contain nothing else. I need to work on the fence. It's a bit rough, with ruts and stuff. Right now I have nothing eating it, so it's pretty overgrown. There's a barn out there with electricity, in pretty good shape, although it needs a good cleaning out.
Farmhouse compound: One farmhouse build in the 50s, one brand spanking new singlewide, one root cellar, and three old chicken coops that need torn down. We also have a sizable "back yard" area that I find absolutely useless and will be adding into the pasture area.
South hayfield: It's a hayfield. It's very flat, with a gentle slope downward to the south. A round pond sits at the south edge, and immediately to the east of the pond is a marshy area that came to exist when someone bulldozed it out to make the berm that holds the pond in. There's a little bit of forest on the south and east edges of the hayfield before you hit the property line.
I have plans for everything. Eventually.
