Silvopasture Agroforestry – How To Make Money Off Land with Becky Barlow
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 week’s show, Joe and Clint are learning how to make money off land using Silvopasture Agroforestry with Dr. Becky Barlow of Auburn University and the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service. We’ll discuss the benefits economically and ecologically and help you determine how much money you can potentially make and if it’s the right choice for your land.
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. For this week’s Timber Market Update, we talk to TimberMart South.
