NE IL | 32 acres around 6 houses with 7 different landlords. Neighbor gave it up and asked if I was interested. It was close to home and the rent was right so I did it using my father in laws equipment in exchange for labor. 1st year was 2010. That year grew 62 bu beans and sold out of field for over $13. Second year had 100 bu wheat followed by 45 bu double crop beans with good prices. I thought “this is easy”. Wish I farmed the acres I do now, back then. oh well probably would have blown the $ anyway.
