I LEASE ABOUT 30 AC ATTATCHED TO MY HOUSE PASTURES...PAY 800 A YR CURRENTLY. owner WANT to raise it to 1350...
was complete trash when i got it...junk trash...terrible weeds and dogfennel over my head..now that its all good grass and most of the trees and trash are gone he wants to raise the rent...i only run a dozen cows...that would be about 30% of my profits...can hardly say no since i been on it 20 yrs. all the fencing is by my hand. all the cleanup and work is by my hands...im sure he could rent it for more but it being attatched to my property makes it a real good thing for me. some time ago he told me i was doing a great job rehabbing the place.
ive bought the 20 ac i own from him..built my legacy on it.
hes an 85 yr old guy who has sold the land he has owned in this cty since early 1950's. mad well over 90 million dollars. just closed a deal for 70 mil behind his old dairy farm.
wont sell me any of what i lease...
its 30% of what i can sell calfs for based on 500 each which in the past around here has been a fair price. market is up right now and i can afford it..but if it goes back down itll run me out of money and ill be barely able to buy hay. cows down here aint like the rest of the country...we get nothin for em here
