So for the introduction, I've been going back and forth with my uncle over CRP and other programs as sources of income on his 300 acres vs Ag.
Currently there is 30 acres that is in row crop each year that pays him $2k per year. The rest of the property is 15 year old clear cut. He wants to push out all the ridges to make the rest of the property tillable.
I am against it but I have no ownership in the property but it is hunted by the family, including my uncle and I know if this happens that it will severely impact deer hunting here. My uncle thinks that the property should be capable of producing a yearly income of $10k. I think that this is an unrealistic expectation.
So I thought I would ask here before I went to the local USDA office. I know there are state programs as well. Can the property be enrolled in multiple programs/grants? If so, would $6k in yearly income be unrealistic?
I'm trying to gather and present my uncle with as much information and a way to net him some income while improving the habitat.
