I lease the grain growing(broken ground)to a grain farmer, and I manage the alfalfa crops, and pasture rotations. During the winter months, the sheep consume 3,600 lbs of hay per week. Fencing seems to be the component taking most capital and labor to establish/maintain. One fast moving herd of deer can turn a high tensile electric fence into a real mess. I invested in invisible dog fencing and allow the livestock dogs free run at night. It seems to have cut down on the deer's desire to visit our pastures. I just turn certain radio zones on/off based on where the sheep are and the dogs have to stay away from chasing the sheep without our commands.

So far, the only other freeperport owner I know of is Black Bart. He and his wife live in Arizona. Lot's of freeper pilots though. For fly-in reasons, a good freeper pilot list would be a good idea. I am always looking for a good reason to take the kids a few hundred miles for a breakfast or lunch.

That's a good idea. I have no idea how to start a list. I haven't found a help page on it yet either.

A Freep-In, Flying-Freep, or whatever folks want to call it would be a good idea. There seems to always be pancake breakfasts put on by local EAA or state pilot orgs.
