Become A Part-Time Texas Farmer

EL PASO, Texas - Sept. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- Now that the U.S. real estate market has rebounded, more people are looking to buy TX farmland to build their dream home, a second home or for their retirement. According to the Texas Almanac, data shows that Texas agriculture has changed significantly. In 2012, 244,700 farms operated in the state--down from 420,000 in 1940.

However, the number of small farms operated by part-time farmers is on the rise. This coincides with new, larger and more efficient large tractors, harvesters, and cropping machines, which have eliminated many of the laborious tasks typically associated with farming. Many of these farmers and ranchers focus on producing certain crops and livestock.

The most interesting information from the Texan Almanac however, may be that more people are purchasing TX farmland for recreational purposes. Buying TX farmland for your personal enjoyment, whether for camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, RV or off-road activities, makes any financial gain an additional bonus.

Land For Retirement

Many people also like the idea of purchasing land in anticipation of their retirement. You get to take advantage of sunny days, breathe fresh air, enjoy breathtaking mountain views, and revel in quiet solitude. Imagine stepping outside your door to go horseback riding, exploring or just enjoying a nice sunset. For many of these buyers, it makes financial sense to buy land well in advance of their intended retirement date. Unlike developed land, your maintenance costs will be affordable because you do not have expenses like water, electricity and insurance.

Texas Tourism Increases Land Value

Texas is also home to an abundance of wildlife. Improved wildlife management has increased deer, turkey and other animal populations. The state also ranks number one in the nation as a destination for bird watchers, and has become one of the top states in the country for ecotourism.

This sub-segment of the travel economy represents an important part of the state’s sustainability efforts and overall tourism industry.  It takes advantage of the state abundance of wildlife, streams, rivers, and tidal shoreline to blend low-impact nature travel and adventure with conservation and community benefits.
