Good advice! I was lucky and bought a farm thats almost perfectly laid out. I have access from the East, 2 from the north and have a grass lane all the way around the perimeter. We have bought small 20-30 ac chunks at a time to total up to 123 ac. A 30 ac chunk of timber and we own the fields on 3 sides of it. The field to the east is owned by a great guy that is a good farmer and doesn't like to hunt. Every thing we have except for 7 acres or so in crp and is growing trees, shrubs, prairie grass food plots.

I agree with most of what spark says, except about creeks. my place is bordered by 2 creeks and has one running through the middle. I love the creeks and haven't had any problems with them creating issues.
