Depends on what your fancy is but IMO there a lot better “deals” in SD then that piece. I watch sales pretty close and for that money there should be some income potential and there isn’t on this one.

I have had the 550 plus for a few years now. Really like it a lot. I have a leather holster with a carabiner clip that it clip on my belt loop or vest while hunting. No issues at all doing that.

Looks like Sisseton got another good rain today.

When was this rain event? How long to get 8”?

Mine is set to expire n 2027. Probably not the best timing but it is what it is. Will face that bridge when we get to it.

I would think this rain and cooler weather won’t hurt anything. Going to really help the cover and the crops.

Have talked to a handful of people in the areas we hunt in. Sounds like between 1.85-4” for these areas. Came nice and steady over a long period so just what they needed.

I would tend to agree with his reasons for being optimistic. Lots of time between now and the opener but if things go well it could be a great year!

I’ve been using prescription shooting glasses the last couple of years with different colored lenses. Most days yellow is the choice but on bright days the brown works well. I love purple for shooting clays on sunny days but for hunting they were terrible for me. One short walk with them and...

That is a really wide question. Going to depend greatly on location. Eastern edge will see the numbers listed above in some areas. Here is the 2024 SDSU survey. I won’t say it’s perfect but think it does a pretty good job of giving an accurate idea.

That is nuts for sure. Really helps to understand why cover is disappearing since with these land prices they have to farm every acre they possibly can. The other side is some times there are some extending circumstances that come in to play making land sell for more than it should on paper...

That seems nuts. That is getting up there to ground that can raise very good corn rates. Not sure how anyone can pay that to graze it? That ground can be bought in some areas at $2500 an acre. Even at $3000 an acre that is over 10% return on the rental rate. What is he telling you the purchase...

I agree. Know it is legit as they offered the family I work for the same offer. We don't believe it makes sense to take good farm ground out so told them no. We own between the proposed field and the transmission lines so they are wanting to negotiate right of way to bring the lines through...

Here locally they are wanting to put in a large solar field. They have locked up about 1000 acres with purchase agreements for $47,000 an acre if the project gets approved. Freaking crazy. Seems insane to me to take good farm land out of production that is 30-50 miles away from large cities...

Cuga here also and no complaints
