Thanks everyone this is great input from what is obviously an experienced crowd. I'm really excited about flying this year and eventually using that field if the owner lets me. I'm even willing to pay him a small fee of like $100 a year if he refuses at first (maybe that would change his mind who knows). Where I live there are actually TONS of farm fields very isolated from civilization so I'm bound to be able to find one in the bunch willing to let me use their field. I wish I could buy the field!!

Anyway, thanks again.
