Farmer talk

They come into every area shut down family farms and inflate the price on everything only thing there good for is banks and machinery dealers

I have Hutterites, Kambeitz Farms, Monette Farms, and a handful of other large commercial operations all within eyeshot of our farm. It’s impossible for me to expand our farm when everyone is getting real estate agents harassing every family farm that they have buyers willing to pay top dollar. And paying $150+ an acre for rent on land that’s full of sloughs and alkali.

Yeah it’s very hard to expand. I bought a quarter that we’d been renting for 20 years and had to pay top dollar for it. The math didn’t math too good but I did it anyways.

Sometimes it just has to be done but some guys will do that one every quarter they buy and i do not get how they can do it

Cash rent in our area is $70-$75. Crop share is 75-25 for the most part but I know one guy that does a half section at 67-33

Renter paying all expenses or is the owner paying their share of inputs?

Renter paying all the expenses. Been renting the land for 25 years ant that rate and the landlords ( couple elderly women) don’t want a rent change. He could tell them to pound sand and some dummy will jump in and do it for the same deal lol. His land surrounds that half and I’m thinking he’s waiting till they sell and maybe get a deal for long tenure?

It varies wherever you live honestly. Talked to a farmer up by Camrose a couple years ago. He said guys were getting $115-$125 cash rent back then. Said they keep rotating canola oil very 2 years to pay and now the area is full of schlerotinia.

And that's the problem with cash renting with zero control in the contract... now what's that land worth??

Shes 150-180 cash rent here on alot of land, offered 125 on some stuff didnt even get s call back but then landlord has dif people on tbe land every 2-3 years because people think every peice of land is worth that and always hard to tell someone not all land is the same and that if they dropped the rent a little im
Sure they could keep renters longer but if you own it u can do as u choose
