Curious what goes into decisions on rented ground. What profit level (dollars per acre) are you looking for when renting farmland? Rents in my neighborhood are sticky in the $325 to $375 range, which makes growing soybeans a break even proposal at best. Corn might have some meat on the bone, but yields need to be in the 225+ range.
At least 10% ROI. If my total costs/investment in growing a crop are $1,000 I need to make at least $100. I'm not participating in the ego contest. A commodity business is a bad enough business model without getting caught up in all of that. I'm more interested in real profits and wealth accumulation than I am in window dressing for the neighbors' approval. |
