• AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
• The estate includes roughly 103 acres of level to gently rolling pasture, including two smaller fields and a larger field near its center. The fields have traditionally been used for hay production and livestock grazing. The well-maintained grasslands also conserve water and filter out manure and nutrients, preventing them from entering nearby bodies of water, thus protecting water quality and human and animal health.
• The fields are very suitable for growing corn, soybeans, pumpkins, flowers, and hemp. The rich soil will also produce garden vegetables in abundance.
• Fruit and persimmon trees are scattered about, some of which were part of an early homestead. Crops of black walnuts and hickory nuts are produced each year. Honeybees do well here, and it would be possible to produce maple syrup from trees growing on the property.
