When it comes to the seasons of the year, which is your favorite?  I suppose the definition of seasons really depends on where you live because they can differ from one place to another.  I’m really referring to the four different seasons that we are used to in the northern parts of the United States.  When you think of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, which one stands out as your favorite time of year?  I can help but think of Fall as being the best time of the year for a number of reasons.

After a long hot summer with warm temperatures and little rain in most cases, the temperatures begin to cool and the vegetation in the wild begins to undergo a change.  This change is what makes the leaves on the trees change color, providing us with amazing picture opportunities because of the brilliant array of colors that the dying leaves have taken on.  There couldn’t be a better scene then the scene you get from rolling hills covered with trees with brightly covered leaves.  The smells from the harvesting of crops, the changing colors and smells of forest vegetation, and the sounds of falling leaves and whipping winds all combine to provide the feeling of home and comfort.

Another reason that the Fall season stands out to me is because of the exciting opportunities for outdoor activity that exists during this time of year.  Just about the same time when the leaves start turning color, the harvest starts to take place, is the time when the many different hunting seasons open up.  This is what really gets me going in the fall and may be the main reason that I favor the Fall season so much.   The small game seasons kick of the Fall hunting seasons in early September, followed by other hunting seasons such as archery deer hunting, duck, and goose hunting.  All of the outdoor hunting opportunities come to be as soon as the summer comes to an end and the fall season comes into play.  For many, this is a very exciting time of the year.

With the changing of the temperatures in the fall from warm to cool comes the desire to cook warm, soothing meals for your family.  Another reason the fall season is so great is because all of the meals that you love to cook on cool days now sound so much better because of the changing weather outside.  Meals that are made in the slow cooker seem to come to mind.  Meals like roasts or chili seem to be much more appealing during this time of year.

There are also other reasons that many enjoy the fall season.  With all of the beautiful colors and scenery comes the perfect picture taking opportunities for those who love the art of photography.  There are numerous possibilities including natural wildlife, animals, and water pictures that can be taken and all are enhanced by the breath taking colors that are produced during this time of year.

The numerous reasons mentioned such as the brilliant colors, the wonderful smells, and the excellent outdoor opportunities are just a few reasons why I prefer the fall season over the others.  It is during this time that the outdoors really comes alive, even though in reality the opposite of coming alive is occurring.  Your favorite may be different which is perfectly fine.  In the end it comes down to personal preference and what makes you happy.

Farm subsidies began in 1933 as part of FDR’s Agricultural Adjustment Act. However, well before and long after farmers, ranchers, and landowners have often asked: How can my land make money? Creative utilization of assets of any nature have longed served to make individuals extra money. With an asset like farm or ranch land, there exists many opportunities for farmers and ranchers to let their land make money.

Several considerations should be made by farmers, ranchers, and landowners when they initially put in place the practical steps needed to have the question “how can my land make money?” move from the abstract, to a steady stream of income. The size, location, current use, potential use, and accessibility of the land are all important considerations. In addition, the goals of the landowner will also dictate the manner in which land is used to make money. Popular alternatives that are relatively “hands off” for the landowner include allowing individuals to hunt, fish, or camp on the property. Some hunting leases for big game animals bring in thousands of dollars over a relatively short period of time. Other hunting leases, such as those for goose hunting, bring in less on a per hunt basis but are more manageable and provide a steady source of money over a longer period of time. Similar to hunting, if the property has water fixtures suitable for fishing, selling per day or per week authorization to fish provides another way landowners can let their land make them money. Finally, there are a number of outdoor enthusiasts who love to camp but shun the idea of being constrained by the boundaries of a public campsite. If the land in question is suitable for camping, landowners can market these attributes as well.

Hunting, camping, and fishing are not the only ways landowners can find an answer to the question, “how can my land make money?” Not all land is ideally suited for the aforementioned activities. Notwithstanding, there are other opportunities to make money from land. Heavily treed areas can be thinned and the wood cut can be sold. If the property is good for grazing or pasturing animals, arrangements can be made with ranchers in need of such land. Instances of this nature provide landowners an opportunity to barter or trade which may provide some tax advantages depending upon the size and scope of the arrangement. Even if the property appears to be good for very little, do not discount the notion that it may be able to make extra money. Perhaps a cellular service tower or other fixture could be placed on the property. An arrangement of this nature could provide anything from a steady stream of income to free cellular phone service, or both.

In short, there exist numerous ways and opportunities for farmers, ranchers, and landowners to realize a tangible monetary answer to the question, “how can my land make money?” Regardless of the size, shape, or current use of the land in question, a creative outlook will certainly help segue the abstract question to an answer that is money in the bank.
