Our home place was rented about 1990 for $90 per acre with number of acres specified. As the years went on, dad would clear out a fencerow or more acres from the side of a woods and they would farm it at same overall price because the land would not produce very well. Then they would whine about losing money so dad would reduce the rent per acre and still not charge for the additional acres.

Some farms around close are going for close to $200 per acre while others are $100-$125 area. Acreage is usually taken from Farm Services ariel photo maps and in writing. It is best to have everything in writing, even between best of friends.
