[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 639873, member: 8978"] A good portion of land that had cattle on it is going back into crop production. Doesn't seem to be any shortage of people lining up to rent crop land. With rent for crop land running around $65-$90/acre(my area) it becomes pretty hard for cows to compete? There is money growing hay for the hobby horse bunch, but it is iffy in my area due to the weather....rained on once and they don't want it. Some of the land I own is not good for anything else but grazing, too hilly, wet, etc. I do intend to break up everything I possibly can for crop production. Seven years of very narrow margins in the cow/calf business plus a desire to spend winters in a warmer climate have pretty well made up my mind. Looking down the road to full retirement in a few years from farming and my other business interests. [/QUOTE]
