Looking for suggestions: A neighbouring farm that owns full sections of land near my family is planning to go from mixed agricultural (Cattle, Pigs, Chickens, Sheep, etc.) to a chicken farm. Going from 12, 000 to 240, 000 broilers while cutting all other animals other than poultry. I am planning to write a letter to oppose the application. I am looking for advice on good agricultural & environmental impact reason to list in my opposition. This is a farm that already caused a lot of us to lose our water aquifer that the well was on due to contamination. Any help to oppose the newest application would be greatly appreciated.

If you had a chance to move out of the United States, where would you go and why?

I want to zoom out and give more context on why this book exists and where it actually came from. I bought my Paonia homestead at roughly $710,000. On paper, that number alone scares most people out of the idea of land ownership. But through creative structure, deal design, and income strategy, I was able to practically pay it off in about 18 months. That didn’t happen because I was lucky. It happened because I learned things the hard way. Before that deal, I got kicked off my dream permaculture farm. Not metaphorically. Literally displaced. Each time was expensive, destabilizing, and humbling. I made early mistakes around ownership structure, leverage, timelines, and assuming “it’ll work out” without control. Those lessons burned years and a lot of money. Over the last five years, I’ve been deep in real estate full time using creative financing. Seller financing, structuring deals, finding hidden leverage, and understanding how money actually moves. I ran a real estate investment company, and I’ve seen hundreds of deals from the inside. I’ve watched what works, what quietly fails, and what traps people financially for decades. This book is me compressing all of that into one place. Not theory. Not motivation. Not influencer nonsense. It’s everything I would hand to a younger version of myself before he made six-figure mistakes, trusted the wrong structures, or assumed banks were the only option. If you apply even part of what’s in there correctly, it can literally save you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of a homestead. The goal isn’t just buying land. The goal is buying land without becoming land-poor, without losing control, and without setting yourself up for stress you didn’t see coming. That’s why I wrote it. That’s why I stand behind it fully. And that’s why I say, without exaggeration, it’s worth its weight in gold for the right person.
