Question - cost per acre lease

[chippie]

I am curious about leasing prices. My family has been having a discussion about it.

What is the average cost per acre per year in your area? Please let me know how many acres too.

Thanking you in advance.

Anywhere from $20 up to $50 depending on size and quality.

Out here in the Intermountain region most pasture or range is rented on a per head or per AUM (animal unit month) basis. Rental grazing per AUM in our area runs about $15/AUM. An AUM is pasture or range needed to run one animal unit for one month.

Our irrigated pasture yields 8-11 AUM/acre, so that would be equivalent to $120 to $165/acre. Our rangeland runs about .3 to .5 AUM/acre (that is one acre would feed one animal unit for 9 to 15 days annually) so the equivalent per acre rental rate would be $4.50 to $7.50/acre annually.

We do some custom grazing charging $22/AUM or about $25/cow-calf pair.

I pay $10.00 per acre for 85 acres of mixed grasses unimproved, $15.00 per acre for 35 acres of Tifton 85. I gave up 200 acres when the land lord went from $10.00 to $25.00 for unimproved pasture that was 75% woods and brush. Brought that for deer hunting and I don't hunt.

With the lease rates reproted here, particularly in TX, it doesn't make any sense to own any more land than the bare minimum needed to just hang your hat. I guess the idea that they're not making any more land doesn't apply in some places!
