So what about your stock tanks? Are they full of water? What about mosquitos? Are you raising fish in them? Doing anything else with them?

I know one tank is full now. It has plenty of fish to keep mosquitos out. The neighbor leasing the land keeps a few cattle there, so they have a water supply. I could irrigate a large garden if I wanted to from either tank. One is almost an acre in size and about 10 feet deep in the center. The other is only about 75' across and 6 - 8 feet deep.

An acre 10 foot deep sounds like a small lake-not a stock tank.LOL

Holy Moly. You can irrigate, grow fish, and swim to cool off/rinse off. I’d say you got a real good area for living off the land.

We are only using our 1 acre lot that has a house and garage taking up part of the space. Had intentions of building a house on the 25 acres we bought, but the economy changed and the state took about 3 acres for a road, and destroyed all the road frontage access we had, so we decided to just stay put.

The land is close enough though that we could do something with it. We have talked about selling half of it, and using the money to repair our rental/vacation property on the western side of the state, build a garden shed, and/or develop the remaining acreage to make some money, or increase our food supply.

So much to do, and so little time to get it done.
