We have farmed some pretty rough wet farms, of course since we've given them up it's been dry but no, no regrets. Plus before the run up in 2010 rents were inline with production, after that time everyone thought their farm was a 300+ rent farm when they aren't. Someone else paid it and might have got to learn a lesson on farming for free or worse. Wet heavy soil ties up all the nutrients but you ask the landlord to put tile in and they just say we don't have the money, but want you to piss away putting 300lbs of dry on year after year even though they inherited the land. Offer to pay for the tile and they won't agree to a fair lease. So some should sell the ground and let others take care of it.
I keep saying guys are farming this stuff for free and is going to cost them but they keep just getting more and more and paying 300+ for 200bu or less aph ground. They got to be making money somewhere or they got the banks working on their side. |
Would you trade high productive ground for more low productivity?
