What is farm ground bringing in your area?
Lots of work. Don
Pretty common pasture land is $20 and up. Just saw a guy offering $50/acre for pasture but wanted it within xx miles of the area he lived. I get $5000 for 200 acres of pasture from April 15 to October 15. MIL's 300 or so acres rented for $6500 but some is poor and difficult to access and 2/3 of it is restricted during deer season.
Row crop land is too variable to post. Anywhere from $75 to 200 per acre depending on condition, soil type,and location.
I think your renter is laughing all the way to the bank unless that's river bottom ground and he's losing every three or four crops to flooding.
+250 to rent.
Heck there is +400 rents. That doesnt pay for beans too well.
Didn't we see this before in the 80's? And we all know how that ended.
The 1980's was before the world economy.
$10,000/acre for corporate farms is just chump change. The family farmer is gone forever.[V]
Does this count as a "shameless plug"?
I have a 40 acre tract for sale - it is what we call "cut over" (it has been timbered about 10 years ago) so it is scrubby mess. I would be tickled pink to get $1500.00 an acre.

Ahh, thanks, but nevermind. 1500 is cheep for my area because even worn out farmland or timber stubble wasteland is still several thousand/acre and sold as "super good hunting land of max awesome wonderment to the extreme times 100". How's the deer there?

they move when you bump them with your hip.
they are planting houses now, 25k - 50k acre, all the old farmers are dieing off, the kids dont want to farm.
I wouldn't say the kids don't want to farm. The cost of starting to farm or starting someone out is beyond most peoples comprehension. And that's with zero guarentee they'll make any money. Dave
They just want the money from selling off the farm. Lazy, spoiled, and greedy.
$8,000-$12,000 an acre here. Cash rent $300-$400 an acre.
Same here in Central IL
