Shocked, but still awed.

I believe Kismet hit it on the head. With my friend it's need not greed. I've known this man, and family for over 25 yr's. Watched his family grow up. Went to his son's football game's and daughter's volleyball team's. Had many dinner's, and shared a few beer's over the yr's. He has never asked for a dime to hunt his land. We compensate him in other way's. So I do think it is a matter of survival nothing else. All I know is this farm was every pheasant hunter's dream, with dirty corn, thick grass, slough's, pothole's, and weed chocked fence lines gone as are the bird's. I feel blessed with all the great memory's made there. Like was stated before as much as we want thing's to stay the same they seldom do. Happy hunting gentlemen!
 
paying for health insurance, funding retirement, socking money aside for college costs, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....it ain't cheap! I try to not judge another until I have walked in his shoes...I still fail, and do it more than I would care to admit...
 
I am a financial adviser, and I have had a farmer call me about 4 times in the past 4 years quizzing me about whether he should buy the ground that he had been renting, as the landlord wanted to sell the ground that my friend had been renting for decades (starting with his dad)...he has bought over a section of ground in the past 3 years, taking on well over$1,800,000 in new debt (though he dropped the rental payment on said ground)...go ahead and tell him how he should run his business...no, second thought, don't! He's about 6 ' 4", 250 lbs...but a heck of a nice guy!!!!
