farmers

i always love reading your stuff,although me thinks your first line was correct.i'd love to have a nut tree but i have ann-marie.---question,here in florida they have what they call tax cows,i'm wondering if it's the same in ole virginie,where if you have a few cows,steers,etc,on your property they give you a farm tax break,down the road a man has about an acre and a quarter with 2 cows and saves about 900 per on txs.where's the property located,my son is looking for some acreage to run his toys on. 37 goin on 17 then he wonders why i have white hair.

Ah, yes, the son whose age never seems to catch up with his body... I have one of them myself! That land is in Halifax County near South Boston in south-central Virginia. It's 3 open and pretty flat acres, VERY "toy" friendly! There are also 2 additional acres right next to it that are for sale but I'm not sure how to contact the owner. I'd have to ask around for his number. But, my property has a house on it (double-wide mobile home) that is in great shape. I just put in a fridge and washer/dryer combo AND a brand new heat pump! Maybe I should say more in PM if you're interested. I can tell you that I'm going to ask for less than what it was appraised for 2 years ago, though. I just want to be able to stop worrying about it being there, empty and all, you know. As for the cow tax, I believe we have that here, too. There are a lot of tax breaks for farmers since this is an agricultural state (nice, clean, fresh air!!!). Living here is soooooooooooo much cheaper than living in Maryland, where we moved from last year! Hmmm, maybe I should get a cow? I've been thinking of getting some chickens but, with the farmer right across the road, I could probably get fresh eggs from him. I'll have to ask. But, adding a cow... I wouldn't have to cut the grass as often, or ever! Fresh milk, too! Oh, and all the fertilizer I could want!!! Cool!!!! I'm going to get a cow!
