Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of business: The Company’s business is the ownership and management of land. The primary activities consist of leasing its properties for minerals (oil and gas) and surface use (agriculture, right of ways, hunting) and raising timber. Significant accounting policies: Pervasiveness of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Certificate of deposits: Certificates of deposit have maturities greater than three months when purchased, in amounts not greater than $250,000 and no more than one certificate issued per financial institution. All certificates of deposit are held until maturity and recorded at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Certificates of deposit mature through 2014. Property and equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Major additions are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to income currently. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Timber: When timber land is purchased with standing timber, the cost is divided between land and timber based on timber cruises contracted by the Company. Reforestation costs are capitalized. The timber asset is depleted when the timber is sold based on the percentage of the timber sold from a particular tract applied to the amount capitalized for timber for that tract. Oil and gas: Oil and gas income is booked when the Company is notified by the well’s operator as to the Company’s share of the revenue proceeds together with the withheld severance taxes. In addition, the Company does accrue estimated oil and gas net income based on actual amounts collected from producers. This accrued amount is recorded as accounts receivable. The Company has no capitalized costs relating to oil and gas producing activities and no costs for property acquisition, exploration and development activities. Net Income and Dividends Paid per common stock: Net income and dividends paid per common stock are based on the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the period. Dividends Pursuant to a dividend reversion clause in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, dividends not claimed within one year after the dividend became payable will expire and revert in full ownership to the Company and the Company’s obligation to pay such dividend will cease. Income taxes: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in federal and state income tax returns for the tax returns that remain subject to examination, generally 3 years after filing. The Company believes that all filing positions are highly certain and that all income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon a taxing jurisdiction’s audit. Therefore, no reserve for uncertain tax positions is required. No interest or penalties have been levied against the Company and none are anticipated.
