Here is how it is in my area, I am a small farmer (200 acres my own, 300 more custom work). If the large farmers can make $5.00 or more an acre they will farm it, they already got the huge machinery, semis, manpower. If I want to rent 80 acres and can only make $5 I won't do it, to much to risk for me. On the brighter side I am starting to see the big farmers not want to mess around with renting 10-20 acres or not buying 40 acres unless it is close to another farm they have, so there is where my opportunity lies, I have to pursue these small parcels, generally they will be less rent to run. In my area a lot of these large farmers are 60 + years old, so a lot of things can change in the next 10 years, hopefully in my favor as I would like to find some more ground and quit my town job.
