Tim, the conservatory land is hunted, but it's by the same people every year unless they don't put in their application and pay the fee. When I checked two years ago, there was a long waiting list to be next in line for an open spot, and it's pretty much dominated by 3 or 4 families that own property around it. It will just make getting a big boy that much sweeter when it happens, I know they're on our property, it's just a matter of time and being in the right place.
This is how we have the farm laid out this year. The orange line is the property line with some of the south end being cut off to preserve clarity and detail. The bright green areas are perenial plots with clovers, chicory, and other things. The purple colored area is cold weather forage with sugar beets, turnips, and brassicas, and the light blue area is buckwheat. The hot pink areas are where future plots will be put in or old ones expanded. The rest of the fields this year are beans. I would put all our stand locations on there but it would put a lot of x's on it...lol
