Farming Questions for a Plan B Gameplan
Have a 70 acre property outside of Ashville, NC. With a liveable sp? farmhouse.
It is wooded and in the mountains. There would need to be clearing and irrigation to setup.
Am at the initial stages of research and was hoping to have a conversation here or by phone with someone who has a side biz. of farming.
Initial questions.
Possible agriculture options in Western North Carolina?
Cost to clear an acre of wooded land. Would a paper company do it on a one time basis?
Cost and scale of drilling wells, laying out an irrigation setup.
Federal, State subsidy programs that might be out there?
Might there be people that would be interested in leasing land to farm.
Range of prices to lease an acre of land?
Appreciate any guidance on the topic?
Thank you very much.
