We are getting closer everyday to a SHTF moment and my place in the burbs just doesn't seem secure enough.
Anyone with rural property have any ideas for generating a living with 30 or so acres?

Turn it into farmland and have the government pay you not to grow anything. Sadly, this is a thing. Alternatively, turn it into a tree farm and have the government pay you annually not to cut them down. This is also a thing.
Raise livestock.
Great ideas, thanks! Except the government paying parts - I want nothing to do with satan's minions.
I admire and share your principles.
Depending on the type of acreage you buy, you can grow hay(ag exemption) raise livestock (ag exemption), conserve wildlife (wildlife exemption). You can also grow vegetables and/or keep bees and receive exemptions for those. IMO - raising hay requires the least amount of work (it’s still work) and you get money for selling they hay. PS, cows are really pricey right now.
Excellent ideas.
