  We really need forestland to bind C-atoms from the Co2 in our air. That would be the most heroic approach. Also wholesome since it creates habitat.

  Looks like a whole lot of nothing. Farming is the only thing you can do if even that

  You bought a bunch of land with no plan for it??

  It looks like it’s been farmed recently. I don’t know what the growing season there is, you might be too late to start this year, but if you can lease it to a farmer for this season that at least has the land be productive while you figure out your longer-term plan. That way you can put plans in place to start work when the growing season is finished.

    It is common in this country to invest in land. I should have invested in US tech but I was young and not well informed

    Any thoughts on figuring out longer-term plan?

  For now? Lease as much of that land as you can. Cover crop the rest. You do not want bare, tilled soil sitting there for a year+ as you figure out bigger plans.

      Ha. Anyone who’s farmed knows that ag leases are such a different scenario and very negotiable, especially if you are working with someone who wants to see the land in production or help young farmers etc. I WISH there had been more willing landlords when I was farming, it took me two years to find a place at all. Lemmings can hate once they’ve negotiated their own ag lease 👀 👩🏻‍🌾

  How close are you to high voltage transmission lines? This might be good for an commercial sized solar farm.

  source

  • amksenin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    There’s a solar farm 1km away. I heard here it would require like $1m of investment and it pays for itself in 7 years but that’s above my pay grade AFAIK

    • Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You could get a smaller amount of panels at first, and later expand your solar farm. But I don’t know if that would keep the costs low enough to be manageable for you, as solar panels aren’t even the most expensive part of a solar farm. The biggest upfront investment would probably be all the electrical gear, e.g. the inverter, etc.
      You could try getting a loan. Demand for renewable electricity is pretty high after all, banks might be willing to invest in something like this.

    • Ledivin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sounds like it’d be relatively easy to get a loan or investor with that kind of ROI. Seven years is nothing if it’s consistent and safe.

      I mean…

      So do 1/10th of that. 100k pays for itself in 7 years? Still have 9/10 of your land to play with.

      Just a thought. turnkey operations are geist for land ownership.

  Plant some dang trees for starters, unless it’s only going to be land used for farming.

  What about a campsite?

  No yoghurt weaving digital nomad yoga shite.

  Just a plain old campsite that people can stay on with their campervans, caravans, tents etc

  You’d probably need a shower and toilet at least.

  Does leasing the land pay enough to make it worthwhile? Gives you time to think.

  If it’s fertile land you should probably use it, or lease it, to grow food.

  Farming is not easy. Until you learnt to be good at it you’ll put in a lot of hours into making not much money after costs have been paid.

  Did you check that you’re actually allowed to build and live there? Depending on where that is (i guess left out on purpose), you can’t simply decide to build a house in a field.

  source

  • amksenin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yes I can build 250m2 of house here but that would kill land’s future investment potential (organized industrial area expansion is the development play here)

    So instead I plan to use tents to host people if I ever do something here

    Though, I guess I can build sheds if they are easy/cheap to remove. I don’t know much about construction

      You could use it as a camp or festival ground with very little upfront cost, especially if you plant some trees.

      That might be illegal if it’s not zoned for residential. That’s how it works in the USA.

  In the short term leasing to a farmer isn’t a bad idea. It looks like a lot of your tentative plans will take time and money, so a short tern land rental might be a good idea.

    Idk the yours or OPs situation but the start up costs of running a farm are pretty high. Not to mention the actual farming work part of it.

    source
  • partial_accumen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    As in subsistence farming or trying to bring food to market? If the former, it will be a hard path, but possible.

    If the latter, have you seen what is happening in the current food markets? For produce (quick spoilage) other nations are rejecting our produce either because of tariffs or because of retaliatory tariffs. For commodity grains like corn and soybeans, previous giant consumers like USAID, USDA, and other agencies are being cut or destroyed entirely meaning there will be a glut of production on the market for some time. Couple that with visa restrictions/deportations, the price of labor will increase substantially. Food prices are going to crater for a time because of this, and some farmers will go out of business. Those that survive will increase prices to cover all of the new expenses, but they won’t be earning more profit from their work.

      Does that apply in Europe? OP says most European capitals have direct flights, that take 2-4 hours, so that probably puts this somewhere in Europe.

      OP seems to be in Europe, so I’m not sure how much of your second point applies.
