- Dave: Yeah, then we found our old friend, Robert Kingley, he’s not that old, but we’ve been friends a long time. I know time flies. We got started, he and I got started years ago in this business, twenty something years ago. Robert was talking about the great poultry farm offering high cash flow, high profit farm up in the center Leesburg area. And, he had some other good farm information also.
- Johnny: He did. And then we wrapped it up with Brian Watts. The president of our timber sales division with Southeastern Land Group. We talked about some recent timber sales that he’s had. And, then also just a basic idea of what a timber cruise is for those who may not be familiar. Always good to talk to Brian.
