About this episode

Carter Amundsen shares valuable lessons learned from his first year of buying a farm.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Carter Amundsen. We discuss: Land ownership rarely happens when timing feels perfect. Proximity to home can outweigh acreage size. First-time buyers often overestimate how ready they need to be. State foresters are an underutilized resource. Habitat improvements should follow a long-term plan. Section 180 deductions can create significant tax savings. EQIP isn't the only conservation funding option. Access routes often matter more than stand locations. Land ownership creates value beyond financial returns. Stewardship becomes addictive once you start improving habitat. And so much more!
