I want to lease 40 or so acres? What are my options in more rural counties? And at what rates.

Check with your local extension agent on this.

Devin":1dvzmsce said:I am in western, KY and all of my ground is rented except for my Dad's small 30 acre farm. My rented ground is in a very rural county. To give you a price in your area is difficult. I have one 120 acre plot that I have just for tending it for the out of town owner, another 100 acre plot that I pay $100.00 and acre for, but it has three ponds, a barn, crossed fenced and a road on three sides of the farm along with a good working pen. I have one place that is only about 20 acres and I pay $500.00 a year for it. My friend tells me I'm crazy, but it ahs two good barns, city water, a good creek, a good fence with various holding pens ( for heifers calving, bull pen etc.), electricity, and some tools in a shop that I have access. The best part is that the owner is an elderly lady that lives on the place and watches my equipment that I keep there and cows like a hawk. The best place I ahe is 60 acres for $800.00 a year. Good stand of grass, cross fenced and a spring fed creek that has never went dry. It just depends on the land owner and the accessories that are on the property I guess. All of mine are long term, 10 years or more. Try to get a place with a good water source at a minimum. I hope this helped a little.

You might want to do the same. If you do not have good info then do not comment. I do not mind if I am wrong and someone proves to me I am wrong. However, you sarcasm should stay off my threads.

- I'm sure they won't go to far.

Man! $10,000 a year for 100 acres?! That seems pretty high.

Diehard40":3fxplkb5 said:I think i read recently where the national average is around $12/acre, but like Devin or some one else said it also depends on the amenties that go along with it. Around here in SC i would say it goes for $10-$20/acre depending on length of time and fencing and water, etc....

I don't see how they stay in business. Good luck finding available land. You won't find it on Google. I'm looking myself and I know quite a few people around here. It's getting very competitive. You almost have to be in the right circles and know just the right people.
