[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 604178, member: 8978"] Not sure what land is worth in any of the areas you guys mention? Or if the owner can do anything else with the land? In my area of central Alberta it is very unlikely you could buy any land for under $2500/acre. Good farm land closer to the city is considerably more. Most pasture land around here is rented by AUM and the going rate is around $1/day to $1.25/day. Not much under a $1 though. Crop land is around $60/$80 acre. If it takes 3 acres of pasture to feed a cow/calf for 5 months the farmer is getting only $50/acre...besides having the fence/water upkeep? Better to plow it down and rent it out for crops? I have some crop land that I rent to my cousin on a crop share basis. I get one third of the crop and I pay one third of the chemical expenses(fertilizer and spray). It has usually worked out much better than cash rent. The only land we pasture is land not suitable for cropping. [/QUOTE]
