Anyway,
About the site, this seems like the second thread I've seen where a club lost flying rights to a private field. It is the risk you take when using private property. Our club is informed that when the owner of the property we fly on passes away, the son will eveict us because he wants the land to feed cattle on. Thats his right as a land owner. With as many members as you have, I hope you can pool your resources and find a better site. Good luck!

Scott,
Your flying site probably does not really need direct access and control of more than about 20 or 25 acres, but you do need a lot more then that for over fly and recovery. That is the portion that his grazing cattle should not bother your operations, you just have to present it to him properly. At the same time, do a little research on agricultural trusts as funded by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and you may be able to provide the son with an additional way to help himself AND you at the same time.
