Presnell Land & Lodges' devotion to agriculture and the outdoors helps us realize they are a source of both income and beauty. Timber, wetlands, buffer strips and wildlife habitat complement and enhance the agricultural business.

We have the real-world experience and knowledge of how to implement the best of both worlds to enhance and build opportunities for additional income sources from both. A lot of farms have timber that needs to be evaluated, marketed and harvested and most sporting properties have an opportunity for crops or grazing. These streams of income often go unexplored and leave a large financial hole in the budgets of agricultural and sporting businesses.

Presnell Land & Lodge works closely with our clients to unlock the potential in their investments through sporting leases, agri-tourism and cost share programs that allow them to increase revenues and also strengthen community relationships. Utilizing facilities and resources for the greater community offers additional income but also strengthens a tie to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy agriculture and the great outdoors in a real-world setting with our clients that love the land and rely on it to survive.

Many of our clients have acreage that is not practical or efficiently utilized and we can help develop wildlife habitat programs to add value and protect other property they own. Wildlife requires a suitable habitat that provides ample food, cover, and water in order to survive. Presnell Land & Lodge excels at designing and implementing wildlife habitat enhancement programs. The result of our programs is a management of wildlife that attests to the innate health of the land and water.

Non-cropped areas provide exceptional opportunities for Presnell Land & Lodge to enhance wildlife habitat.

Our programs include:

• Prairie grass and wildflower lantings
• Wildlife food plot plantings
• Wildlife tree and shrub plantings
• Prescribed burns
• Building wildlife cover
• Erect houses for wood ducks,
  bluebirds, bats and other
  wildlife
