I need to make good use of 20 acres in Oklahoma.

[Tx Jim]

That sounds more typical. Good horse hay isn’t cheap.

But then one must contend with picky horse owners. I owned/rode horses for over 40 yrs before I became disabled. Life is too short for me to attempt to please most horse owners concerning hay for horses to consume. My daughters horses have had no problems eating hay that I produce

The fellows across the county road bought 20 acres three years ago. They seem to be making good money growing marijuana.

I made a deal with them. None of their customers come down my driveway - ever - and I won't be over on their 20 - shooting them.

Why would you shoot people on the neighbors property?

Dude don’t question him like that! There are consequences, he’ll be over on your property next.

Couldn't agree more. "Horsey People" are a giant pain in the @zz.

My father used to get so tired of their b.s. when buying bales of hay. One of the reasons he was glad to be out of the business was no longer having to deal with all the high maintenance attitudes. You'd think each and every one of them was the owner of Secretariat himself.

The OP has been here since 2011, and this is his 3rd post. Somehow I doubt we'll be hearing from him soon.

Good horsey people (we are one of those) also keep sheep and goats or even cattle. If the horses won't eat it, those extra-stomach folks can handle it just fine. Our hay guy likes us because we don't quibble about anything. He delivers and stacks (!!) good Coastal hay at about $7.

We're down at the far end of lifespan for several of our ponies. Their teeth are gone to where they cannot eat hay, so we're using pelleted Idaho grass (gra$$ -- timothy, alfalfa, beet pulp) from the feed store. We soak it an hour before feeding.

Putting a bunch of good ponies onto a few of those 20 acres would give the opportunity to make a lot of city kids happy at birthday parties. OP could make a small fortune that way, if he's able to start with a large fortune.

We've always hayed this property, but as a new inheriting person, I'd like to learn about other options for this property. Can anyone point me to some good info, or make suggestions?

In stillwater they have the “500” which is a off-road motorcycle park, with 20 acres you have enough land for a Motocross track

What part of Oklahoma, a pretty big state with a few different climatic regions.

 

[Mad Mac]

okcdan has not told us enough to make worthwhile suggestions.

Does it have water, utilities, paved access, structures like a house or barn, proximity to urban areas or is it just flat prairie in the middle of nowhere.

Does okcdan want to work it himself, live there and be a subsistence farmer or be a windshield rancher. That is just lease it out to cover the property taxes and look at it through his windshield once in a while. In other words, what does he want to do with it, if anything.
