No Explaination? Anyone?

Cowman, you are very luck to be in an area still getting that kind of rent. Good for you!!

Cash rent in this area is in that $50-$60/acre range, but my cousin and I have always done the crop share thing(18 years).
I pay one third of the chem expenses and get one third of the crop. I supply the grain bins. He sells the crop...and pays me my share less the chem expenses. He puts on crop insurance and in a crop failure gets it all...I chose not to participate...never had a crop failure here...little bit of hail occasionally.
He makes all decisions and I will occasionally help him out a bit...plowing snow at bins, driving grain truck, even a few hours on combine or seed drill! I usually try to pick the rocks and keep the fencelines free of bad weeds!
He is a good farmer and farms the land like it was his own. I bale about half the straw every year and put the cows out on the land after harvest.
It works out very well for both of us.
