Hey everyone, I'm looking at moving to a property of about 90 acres. Would a farmer rent this out for crop? If so, what would the going rate be per acre? I'm not entirely sure how much is prepped for crop, I think around 80 acres. Ad said it currently alfafa/grass mix, and been certified organic for many years.
Organic land is in high demand out here. Price per acre really depends on demand and what kind of soil you have. Our you could go with crop share. Farmer gives you x% of his crop in cash. That's what iam doing this year. Good deal for both parties.
Best idea is to find someone to fence it and let their cattle in. Depends how much fencing you'd need but generally a dollar a day per cow/steer/bull. So if you can get 20 cow/calf pairs in there on decent pasture you'd be looking at 600-700 a month. You might be able to get 30 on there but it would depend on the vegetation.
