Water rights are becoming a huge thing.
We had also rebuilt the house and the barn with additions. Sufficient for hired help (or visitors), etc, with a near commercial kitchen.
Everything we added was business expense and we recovered it all in the sale.
For the comments on buying meat, we do not get our meat from a supermarket. We have a deal with a butcher that we supply cattle to out of the truckload we brought to Missouri. My point being, make a deal with a butcher. You'll probably need to get a 2nd fridge or freezer though. Except for the truckload we kept, half the Kansas herd was sold the end of January, and the 2nd half the end of March.
I'd like to thank HDG for posting some accurate news writes. The only issue with the articles is that they are describing initial events that started several months, perhaps a full year, earlier, that continue, that resulted in the current situation. We saw these issue(s) back then and made our decision in January 25.
