[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1818193, member: 6291"] We have a county agent but they are not very useful. They tend to just mess with show animals, or try to get lease land, or secure hunting jobs on ranches for after retirement. A land owner we lease from contacted ours back when we were setting up the lease. She wanted to get an idea for the going rate. He told her some thing crazy like $20-$30/ac. She even commented how he phrased it as... I lease land and I would pay.... This is like 20ac/pair land, no pens, that's like 60% brush, 40% open. She even said the numbers didn't make sense. He got me on another place, though. He went in and offered a real high number to get it over me. We know the people real well and I told them to jump on it if they can get it but be prepared because the price he is paying is not sustainable. He will be asking to lower it in a couple years. Sure enough, three years later he wanted to lower it. She told him to stick to his original number or she would lease it to some one else (me). He is in year 5 now and has taking a whooping with these dry years. She said he made a comment again this year and she told him the same, pay up or get off. [/QUOTE]
