Best land

[LEP]

Guess I am an idiot. Did a renewal awhile back by agreeing to pay the taxes in addition to the old rate.

Still $45 less than a bunch of land got rented for this spring.

LEP, on average how much does it convert to on a per acre basis? Agriland taxes in our RM are quite reasonable, there are some alternative tax revenues that take the pressure off farmland to carry the full burden.

At any rate, it can't cost alot extra.

On average about 2.51 per acre. A small concession I thought.

An extra $400.00 per quarter shouldn't be too bad. Funny, some don't think twice about pouring the coa(fert) to it, or a "questionable" fungicide app, but a few more hundred dollars for rent for the most important piece of the puzzle is balked at. They're taking it out on the wrong "input". Why, because it is almost the only place they wield and power to reduce the cost of inputs. Sometimes an ex-farming understanding landlord will be the first to cut the tenant some slack. Hard to get a cut from the rest of the suppliers once its bought and used, even if you did get skunked.
