Joe Miller replied to Ross Collins's discussion Worth Buying More Iowa Farm Ground??
"I'm in southeast Iowa and if I had a chance at ground that has a CSR of 88 and the price was $5,000/acre I'd jump on that in a heartbeat. I just bought 30 bred heifers with an FSA loan and the paperwork is a nightmare but the savings on…"

"I've thought about doing that too, we're located not too far south of Iowa City. Are you butchering the cattle on site and do you need any special permits to do this on a large scale?"

"I agree100% Joe. The durability and longevity on the covers are something to consider.  Even if a hoop is cheaper right now, in 10 on 15 years to re-cover it might push that cost well over a mono.  Keep me informed on what you do, cause I…"

Hey Joe,

     Was wondering if you ever decided on a cattle building.  I finally pulled the trigger on one.  It is going to be a Legacy building, which is a gable roof covered in fabric.  I am going through the engineering on it right now so we can get to the Dept. of Ag.   If you are interester I will put you in contact with the rep.  They have an office in Belle Plain, IA.
