FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES

Capital Timber Value of the timber and pulpwood has not been determined.
Species composition:
The forest's predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of:
• Black Cherry
• Sugar Maple
• Poplar/Cucumber/Basswood
• Red Oak Group
• White Oak/Chestnut Oak
• Soft Maple
• Hickory
• Ash
• As well as a host of associate species ( black walnut, birch, beech)

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
There are approximately 298 acres of open land composed of
•227 acres of excellent grassland suitable for grazing composed of native bluegrass, timothy and clover
•71 rich cropland acres presently in corn.
Fencing is good in most places and is adequate to turn cattle.

WILDLIFE
The farm has a mixture of hayfields/pasture, mature forest and abandoned farm fields, coupled with the abundant water supply from the pond, creeks and springs, which creates the perfect wildlife habitat. The miles of "edge effect" created between field and forest is the perfect habitat for all the resident wildlife. The edges create a miles long wildlife food plot. White tail deer, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, fox and many species of songbirds, owls and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.
The hardwood forest provides the essential nutrient source and produces tons of hard mast including acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts and black walnuts. Soft mast includes stag horn sumac, black cherry, tulip poplar seeds, maple seeds, autumn olive berries and blackberries.

WATER
The farm is blessed with year-round water sources. Several large hollows, many ephemeral streams flow during rain events and snow melt in the spring create topographic relief throughout the property.

There is a nice pond stocked with bass, bluegill and catfish and kids of all ages have fun fishing and skipping stones across the pond. Several large bullfrogs enjoy the pond as well and their nightly singing is a welcome sound. There are two other smaller farm ponds as well.

***** A huge natural mountain spring that flows year round and provides water to the tenant house. The flow rate in gallons per minute is not readily known.

There is city water available to the Farm house.
