Singing in the Rain!

Singing in the Rain I'm just singing in the Rain ah you know the rest.   Yes it is time to go walk another farm.  I will definitely be a little wiser this time and pay attention to the weather channel before scheduling this next "walkabout".

Feet from last "walkabout"

As you can see last time I did not plan so well so it was rather wet.  My loving wife did happen to buy me some better boots though just in case I do not plan so well again. 

 I always schedule (time appropriate to size) to walk the land on any farm that I list.   I search out all the major aspects, any streams, ponds, or any natural water feature.  Then of course a good walk through of any buildings, barns, tobacco barns, storage buildings, or whatever else I find. 

If there is farm land and I think the highest and best use is for agricultural/crops, I will have the soil tested for those fields.  The NC Department of Agriculture is good about helping out with that.  It just takes some time.  

Using satellite imagery I will walk the boundries.  I cannot wait to try my Ipad's mapping function.  By using a printout of the GIS map off the register of deeds site I can compare it to the GPS map on my Ipad and while I walk see exactly where I am on the map. 

So while the next one is only 60 acres it will be more of a challenge since it has not been cleared or had any fields tended in quite awhile.  I prefer it to be a little cooler so all our little cold blooded nature friends are all holed up somewhere.  If not no worries just wear my higher boots and make lots of noise.

I have a land listing I should probably walk. Thanks for sharing what you do.

I'd be curious to know how your iPad and the GIS measure up to one another. If nothing else, at least you got a nice new pair of boots!

That's great that you get as much knowledge as you can.  I too sell alot of farms and acreage and I find it annoying when listing agents have no pictures or knowledge of the property (i.e. terrain, pasture quality, allowable splits...)

May you have a prosperous 2011!
