In the fella’s defense, it sound like 23 acres made 86, not his whole farm. (Unless i miss understood).
With my assumption of a 3 year down cycle coming up after this spring, I probably wouldn’t be getting too aggressive right now on a multi year lease like that.
Becks paid about $22,000 an acre for a family friends farm in Tipton county this fall, but it adjoined a farm they already owned and likely prime seed corn production ground. Sad part was they bought it out from under a seed grower of theirs already.
In this post corn fields thus far made 225,238, and 245x $5 = $1125 - $1225 acre

In this post NGMO beans @ 77 bu acre x $15= $1155 acre.
If can't make $425 rent work with these numbers, there is some serious overspending.

Folks that require rented ground to farm and require borrowed money to operate , had better figure out sooner than later how to operate on the lean side. AS margins look to get squeezed more and more every year going forward.
