No way my husband would ever pick up just 10 acres unless it butted RIGHT up to a field that he already farms.

And I ** think ** that he works an 80/20 deal or 75/25 if there are other things like landowner paying for well/pump repairs or has a set of bins that we "rent".

About to plant beans here ... and I'm praying that the weather cooperates.

I figured you would show up in this thread. Glad someone else with real life experience is here to back me up.

Agreed. The only time my dad ever did anything about 80/20 was when the land owner supplied the water and half of the fertilizer.

Is it that time of year already?

Hmm. Yea I had no idea that those small plots aren't even worth fooling with. So I found out the official numbers today, our share is 3 acres, and we are charging $260 per year.

So I don't know what to make of this. Would it be potentially better for us to just grow timber? (and I'm acting like that's an easy thing to do- which it won't be)
