Setting up as a 'land management company' probably means converting to a 'REIT' which has important tax benefits--eliminating the double taxation of earnings. It is probably a good thing. There has been talk of converting railroads to REITs but doing so may tie their hands too much. REITs are not allowed to retain much earnings, so in a bad economy the REIT structure could kill.
