Also thinking about this stuff and appreciate the financial expertise/experience.

Bottom line is that I paid $43,560 for the 133 acres, 40 or so years ago, that realtors tell me is worth 8 to 10 k per acre. Somewhere around a million bucks. Improvements are dozer to cut a 1 mile road from the front to the back, a water well, the pond, and a 2 bedroom poor white trash trailer house. Rocky and hilly so is considered recreational property which really means junk land.

Add a shipping container, construction office trailer, one stock pen and tractor shades that I built.

John Deere and 8N Ford tractors, various farm implements, 3 trailer’s, and 2 Honda 4wheelers.

Nothing depreciated and I expect a significant financial hickey.

Since this has been over a 40 year span, I wouldn’t have a clue where the receipts are. Some of them were “lost” in a divorce.

All in my name since I’m on my second (and damn sure last) wife.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
