My family owns the Neighbors Ranch. This ranch is currently being maintained by my dads side of the family, including: his Mom, Brother, and Uncle. Which will also be handed down to us when we get to age. We are not involved in this farm too much, but occasionally we are introduced to some of the plans that we are thinking about doing for the farm. The most current matter is wither or not to put windmills on the farm or not. It is very costly to produce windmills, as well as to provide power to each windmill. Each windmill is approximately 100 feet tall, and is at max 25% efficient. But even with 25% efficiency, we are still quoted a great income after 10 years.
Our Property is not that big, at is in White Deer, Texas (it is not too big, so don't try to draw out a map of it from Google earth). We currently grow mostly Wheat and Milo, very desolate crops. Our Ranchers on our property have a contract that more or less is along the lines of "the farmer pays no rent, but in return, must tend to the land". I am not too sure to what extent we pay the farmers for, but it is good enough to pull people in.
If your wondering, white deer is in the "handle", or "tip" of texas.
