Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.
On today's episode, we are back on the road at the Iowa Deer Classic talking with Jared Mills and Chris Jones.
We discuss:
- Diversity in habitat consistently creates better deer movement and bedding
- Low cover farms often outperform clean timber due to security and thermals
- Tree plantings become huntable bedding cover in just 5–6 years
- CRP farms offer income while building long-term hunting value
- Recently logged farms can explode with deer activity after 3–5 years
- Monoculture grass struggles unless broken up with structure and edge
- Access strategy matters more than most hunters realize
- Most farms can be improved—very few are truly “unfixable”
- First land purchase is the hardest but unlocks future leverage
- Waiting for a crash often means missing years of appreciation
And so much more!
