Landlords are not intouch with the actual cost of putting the crop in, machinery cost and the amount of risk that the farmer takes. Landlords see high prices for grain and think we are making lots of money.

from 150 for very poor ground to 450 for very good ground. the butler co. farm east of allison ia. just went for 587 which is crazy

I saw a large spike last year some because of bidding against other farmers, but the largest to blame is our government. CRP rates are out of control Thank you NRCS!

I'm a land owner/investor, basing '13 rents on 5-6% of market land value and 30% of average gross revenue of crops raised on land I own in 2012, I plan to raise rents 15-20%, land is in northern Red River Valley in ND and MN

There are running adds in the local paper that offer 300-350/acre. These adds are moving all rents to that level. Three farms have sold in last four months for $12,000/acre with no special building or structures. West central, Ohio.
