Land rents?

[ado089]

Where I am in NW Sask you don't touch land for less than $42/ac, most is even in that $50-55/ac range. If you guys get your way with the CWB ,according to your numbers,and if that 23bu of barley rule stays true you should expect your rent to go up!

Cash rent south of Saskatoon is 20-30 dollars per acre.

ado, I am in NW sask as well, only the cutknife - paynton areas that I know of are in the $40 /ac range. Even that is too high for the average production-prices in these areas. North Battleford area ranges from $20-38/ac.
We rent good dirt for $15 10% crop, works very well for both landlord and us,jmo.

I pay 45-50 because thats the market.
I would prefer to pay a % of gross by far. My numbers tell me on avg. I would not want to more than %22.

Also I'm interested to hear what peoples rent is as expressed in dollars per bushel of wheat..
I'm at around $.90.

For all of you "younger" farmers out there experiencing these "higher" commodity prices, and bullish sentiment.

If you think you are on easy street and you think you are going to be rolling in dough, you might want to talk to the older generation, who will know very well that any increase in commodity prices is quickly capitalized into input costs (variable and fixed). Your rents and land values go up, your fertili"s"er (that "S" was for TOM4CWB) goes up, your seed, chem, rail, elevation etc.)

So be carefull before buying that 9860 JD, and that $68,00 dually Diesel Silverado 4x4 just to pick up the mail in town.
