It's the #1 question in the land business, and on this episode of the Southeastern Land Show, Brian and Cary explain why starting with a per-acre number is often the wrong approach. They dig into how location, tract size, highest and best use, comparable land sales, zoning, and conservation use value assessment all factor into land value. They'll give you a real look at how land appraisal works across Alabama, Georgia, and the Southeast. Have a question about your own property's value?

Learn what the Pinhoti Trail has to offer: from its surprising ties to the Appalachian Trail, to what it takes to hike a 12-month "Triple Crown," and how one 40-acre property along Talladega Creek turned into a five-cabin retreat. 350 miles. Two states. One incredible trail.

Retired game warden Jeff Brown is back with some of his funniest stories yet, including his own childhood memory of night-hunting rabbits with his dad (and getting thrown off the truck).  He's also sharing real tips for dove and deer season and lessons from nearly two decades in the field.  Funny and useful, this is a can't-miss!!

Brian and Cary talk with Pete Folmar (Southeastern Land Group) and Dan Glenn of Deep Grass Grazers to uncover the secret to a thriving cattle herd… and it starts closer to home than you'd think.

Live from Auburn Oaks Farm, host Brian Watts covers Alabama's record-breaking Sporting Clays State Championship: 287 shooters, 13 states, and the fastest-growing shooting sport in the country. Tournament director Tyler Smith and Audrey Rabren dig into the farm's legacy as former Auburn coach Pat Dye's property, while Tripp Hodges explains how Auburn's Wildlife Enterprise Management program is shaping a new hospitality-driven approach to outdoor experiences.

Dan Cofield and Jeremiah Windell of Advanced Agrilytics talk with Brian and Cary, as they explain Section 180… a little-known tax deduction for "excess" soil fertility on land bought or inherited after 2010. Average payout: $1,200–$1,500 per acre, deductible over up to seven years. They cover who qualifies, the $40/acre process, and how it can help offset inheritance tax for the next generation of landowners.

Your family doctor can practice medicine, but would you want him operating on you?

Wild turkey populations have dropped nearly 40% in the last decade. For episode 70, Brian and Cary sit down with Jason Lupardus, certified wildlife biologist and CEO of Turkeys for Tomorrow to talk about the why. Jason digs into the science of the decline: shrinking habitat, unchecked predators, and mounting hunting pressure. Their mission? Bringing neighboring landowners together into cooperatives to manage habitats at the scale turkeys need. Whether you're a die-hard spring turkey hunter, a landowner improving your property, or just someone who cares about conservation… this conversation will leave you fired up to help bring the wild turkeys back.

This week Brian and Cary hand the mic to their better halves. Sarah Watts and Kelsey Farrington join the show to share what it's really like being married to a land agent… the leaps of faith, the lean years, and why they'd both do it again "1,000%."
