Building a Cabin Step 4: Drilling A Well

This is Huntin’ Land, the podcast for landowners and land hunters. If you like to stay up to date on hunting tactics, land management, land values, and land market dynamics, this is the podcast for you. On this episode, Joe, Butch, and Clint deliver Part 4 of the HLP Building A Cabin Series. In this installment, Heath Davis of Davis Well Company joins the show to talk about the geographical, geological, and usage needs for the drilling a well on your property. Heath will explain the drilling process, site selection, pump equipment, maintenance, service, and warranties.

As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like,  “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.

Each week, on the Huntin’ Land Podcast, we will bring in various experts to help provide answers to the important questions landowners have.
