Ok lets look at a little Math! Rent $100.00 Acre!

Every two miles the land is different. Pay what its worth. Your local should know.shit.

Some in this area are paying High dollars just so "Their Neighbors" don't get it..Nothing to do with making money..just greed..

A faming career should be about 30 years. Age 30 to 60. Anyone over under that age dont need to be there. Certainly not in a running shit mode.

simple, if we get 60 plus bu.we expect on a normal year times 7.50 = 450 dollars an acre gross. (no cwb)

I learned that shit in grade 3. It dont grow a croo

[Hopperbin]

The math is grade 3

Wacko what is your point? There is math and there is reality. Reality is not 60 canola. Do your own numbers.

Last year or the year before, when prices were high and we had that bumper crop, people on here were hollering that if you do not pay up, you will lose out. I wish I could remember names, or had the time to look back.

Guys were yodeling about land values and how if you have paid for land, it subsidizes the expensive land costs, so it still makes economic sense. Some guys acted like I had rocks in my head for noting that it makes no economic sense to take on land that does not pay, regardless of the lowered costs because of paid for land.

Where are these guys today?

Land rent here is 30 to 40 an acre. It is generally assessed over 100 000, not a lot of obstacles on lots of it, not in the heart of pothole country. Being burnt with wet, has allowed us to not have had to deal with the run up in land values and rental values.

So what land price per acre equates to 100 dollar rent? Is it also dumb to pay that number for land? Is land retracing in value other areas like it is here?

Hopper at 45 years I've had 1&1/2 careers! Too old to quit? Too stupid to not to quit? Too comfortable or afraid of change?

Who said canola and I've farmed 44 years , another stupid conversation .
