pastures for hay production and cattle grazing, and approximately
100 acres of open native pasture land. The balance of the ranch is
dense-to-scattered woods. The ranch is fenced into separate
pasture areas, allowing for pasture rotation for either cattle
grazing or hay production. When fully operational, the North Ranch
can sustain up to 400 cows at any given time. Several buildings,
including a 4,792-square-foot home, an equipment shed, and ranch
offices, are located on the property. The value of the acreage
making up the North Ranch during 1992, 1993, and 1994 was

Ranch during 1992, 1993, and 1994 was $85,000.

Soil Conservation Service for technical assistance regarding land
management matters on the North Ranch. Between 1976 and 1996,
petitioners received payments from USDA totaling approximately
$22,000.
