RE: 2018 Goals for Increasing Homesteading Income
One more thing, is there a nearby farmer with good practices you could rent some acres to next year? It could be a win-win providing you with money as well as improving the soil for when you get there.
I think willow are pretty quick to establish - like only a couple of years - so that's something I'm definitely going to look into.
At the moment the land is 'rented' to a local farmer - he basically uses it for free and in return he mows the pasture, maintains driveways etc. He was a huge support to my granddad when he became ill and so, for now, I'm happy to leave things the way they are...esp as he's a struggling farmer and in a couple of years I'll be taking all the land back.
