In this area, it wasn't old woodlots as much as property that had been sitting for years without being used. I heard that the farmer's rented the land, with very low rents, for something like 5 years. That covered the cost of clearing it. A couple of examples - the SE corner of Grand River & M59 had been a abandoned dairy farm for 30+ years, covered in Russian olive, and vacant. Zoned commercial, it has never been developed. About 2008? it was cleared and is in crop right now. It might be beans this year. The most interesting to me was the golf course in Howell, south of 96, off D19. A local farmer bought it, and has it planted. Kinda strange seeing corn grow on the fairways...I played golf there a couple of times, the golf course was put in the early 90's. I don't think it ever made money.
