    Yeah I was serious. So what is the benefit to owning a large piece of land if you are not allowed to harvest off of it?

    I can pee wherever I want and know the view will be awesome...Plus I can kill deer and turkey without getting tags...I still have to get a hunting license and gamebird stamp because I hunt dove and woodcock as well......

    You can varmint hunt at will on land you own.
    Coyotes do have a season, but as a landowner, you can dispatch them whenever you like.

    Farmland means agricultural land that is devoted or best adaptable to the production of crops, fruits, timber or the raising of livestock, or is assessed as agricultural land for property tax purposes. There is no acreage requirement to qualify for this exemption.

    Assessed as agricultural land is not the same as zoned agricultural.

    That's what I am finding out. The CO told me wrong when I bought my property 5 years ago and I also listened to a friend who has more land than me (I have 10 acres that I own and live on). Plus, someone pointed out that the DNR exemptions is written poorly so maybe that is the root of the confusion. I appreciate the INGO group correcting me. That will save me some money in the future.
