Hello Everyone, I was wondering if any of you could help?
I purchased a place with 10.7 acres having
a house and garage. It presently is under
residential status for applying property
taxes. I understand from my local tax
department that I can convert to agricultural
if I meet specific requirements. Number one
I am already outside of city limits and no
zoning interferes with my plans so I am fine
there. Number two, I have to show I averaged
an income of $2500 a year from the land for
three years. My incentive behind all of this
is to lower my property taxes significantly
over the long run.
My question is: If you were in my situation
what land use would you suggest to meet this
requirement without high operation costs?
I have some equipment, such as tractors, some implements etc. for hobbying and I am open to the idea of investing a little in whatever else I need. I also do not have any experience with farming other than a little gardening. We recently started a small flock of chickens, but
did not think something like this could generate
the required income. Hope you all can help
with suggestions. Thanks,
Tim, Ohio

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
