Rental Ground & Corn Surplus ?

[Stocker Steve]

One of the bigger row crop renters here has walked away from all his rental ground. Another BTO is not taking on any additional ground. The amount of corn planted has dropped noticeably, and several are trying to grow beans on bean ground. Are you seeing any pull backs like this?

Still going wild down here Steve. Heard of some $250 acre rent on some coming out of CRP that really should be in the program. Steep, road terrible coming out and only other option is going thru 3 different parcels to get crop out. Young guys pushing hard down here with the BTO (really wanna be BTO is what they are)

prices have dropped north of here, more rental ground coming up. friend up there has 4 different people offering neighboring farms to him and several to rent.

Rent goes up steadily here every couple years. Not much loosening up for availability either. Seeing a little more ground in beans than corn, but nothing drastic. Interestingly enough, the local ethanol plant was dangerously close to running out of corn before the harvest started. Makes me wonder if there some fellas sitting on A LOT of corn, waiting for a bump in price.

If its decent here its rented with someone else wanting it too.

About a third of our ground is decent.
Another third can produce 20 to 30 bu soybeans... Deer love this.
The remaining third needs cows, period. :cowboy:

It's all farmed here. Nothing loose. Rents are stable but they are share rent.
