If I was the cattle guy I would mention all the time the grass guy would have to take to manage the land and then there's the potential for fire...and how I have a deer problem
. The grass guy is doing just fine in his approach.
Cattle rancher had600 more acres of land he could have leased if he truly wanted too make some $$$off leasing. The 400 acre section can only be accessed easily through our property,, no way a leasee would be given permission too cross our property during hunting season,, take a boat or walk through the swamp!
Farmer knows we actually benefit from cattle being on the property,, and its not that the grass is short around the cabin all summer(thats a bonus). Our property is considerred "active farm land" and not "recreational land or waterfront" too the tax-man.. Saves us about half our tax bill on the land every year. Farmer mentioned that also when we told him he would no longer be grazingour property "if he leased".. It was as simple as saying "we can buy 2 cowsor sheep for that matterand its a farm!"
Personally I think he was just having a bad year and he was trying too milk a couple guys from "the city" who had good jobs and bought new trucks every few years. He soon realized a couple guys from the city arent as stupid as he thoughtthey were!
Funny. I'm sure he was. LOL He's just work'n it. Good for you city boys. I was one once upon a time and then learned the hard way the ways of the country.
Just good old boys. I wouldn't count your inteligence to quickly. LOL Best to keep him thinking he's getting the better part of the deal.
Makes me laugh just picturing it.
