Default RE: does land value decrease? or just increase

I bought 135 acres incentralIllinoisthatIjust bow hunt on 5 years ago.I have put 4 food plots on it. I had the state plant 20,000 trees in CRP. It is 95% woods with a creek running through the middle of it. Ithas many hills and many flat spots. It is surrounded on 3 sides by neighbor'sfarm ground in all corn.I just paid my property taxes, a total of $69 per year. The government pays me $3000 per year to do nothing with my trees in CRP for 15 years.

I paid $1250 an acre 5 years ago. The cheapest in the county is selling around$4K per acre. I took two P&Y bucks off it last year which will make it worth more. You do the math! Best part about it is that it is paid for. This should seal the deal! Pics of twodeer. The one is an 11 point 23 1/4"inside spread with a 7" drop tine other is 18" 8 point.
