@MattHintz3 If not a good farm or money not right good choice. But what I have learned at 57 is a good farm can only be had when nobody else wants them

@Trebfarms I didn’t even discuss money, in this economy and what I’d suspect that farm could produce year in year out there is no way it would have been profitable in these time

@MattHintz3 What kind of land owner gets this far into a season without a renter? Previous renter not get financing? Or did somebody walk away because of unrealistic demands from owner? Seems odd to be in that situation.

@TrentMichels New generation owns the land, I don’t know why they aren’t working with the previous tenant who had it many years either. I didn’t want to get in the middle of some hard feelings there just to add more marginal acres that wouldn’t have worked out financially as well.

@MattHintz3 I got offered rent free old CRP ground for a year a couple weeks ago if I worked it up. I just laughed at him and walked away

@MattHintz3 Been there done that. Not much sense in bragging about how many acres you farm but not telling how much you are losing per acre!

@MattHintz3 Exactly!!! If your going to work your ass off, no need doing it for nothing, might as well be doing a aerobic exercise

@todd_hanten Show me how 80 bushel corn and 20 bushel beans can work with those numbers I provided for prices. This isn’t the land of milk and honey here. With the proper weather you could have 2x of half those numbers on that ground as well.
