JMJ Farms":m4z19a8o said:Last I had dealings with here was $100/AC initial payment. Then around $65/AC yearly for the fifteen year program. To be eligible the ground had to be in crop production for 2 of the last 4 years.
Yes, this ground would make a fine crop of dark tobacco.RiverHills":2bcg66xo said:Bigfoot I don't know about Kentucky but some go by soil fertility and what can be grown on the farm. Could it be higher because it's tobacco ground?
I've heard anywhere from 65 to 125 per acre for hill ground.
Bigfoot":2swjtttk said:$237 an acre, doesn't sound exuberant to anyone?
Bigfoot":1sw3pi3i said:If you put 100 acres in. That's $23,700 annually. That's $23,700 you didn't have to do one thing to collect. Cattle don't return like that per acre.

Was it CRP or CREP? Some of the CREP ground around here was over $200 an acre. I could have gotten about $180 for some of my poor ground.Bigfoot":1f2b6pyo said:Some kin folk, said they got in at $237 an acre. I'm not doubting they did, but that seems terribly high. I've sucked from the government tit, but I'm even callin BS if that's what they're paying.
