Here's the thing about the land, my dads an old fashion guy and he told me hes giving me all his land when he no longer wants it, this could be another 20 years or longer but if I wanted to do something to it, put something on it to make money yet still have the land in our family that's what he would want, he told me he doesn't want me to sell it. Like I said its middle of no where country and there's no sign of anything big coming out of there.

I was also thinking windmills? what kind of profit would they bring, maybe rent out a bit of land, I don't think that'd be to much of a problem.


In 20 years things may change but, unless the land is in a pretty rare wind corridor, you probably can't make money off of wind energy (unless you know people in government that owe you favours. What you can do with the land really depends on where it is though.

Where I'm from windmills are BIG (and I don't mean there size)

Where are you from, and where is your dad's land located?

As HappySqurriel mentioned, your land would have to be located in an optimal wind corridor for a company to consider erecting a wind farm in the area. If your land happens to be located in the optimal area, and a company is planning a wind farm there, they could offer upwards of $10,000 per windmill per year for use of your land.
