$450 cash rent, I used to farm 2000 now the county average is 3500 to 5000, CRP and huge direct payments, it goes on and on... What can we do as farmers and enthusiasts to help reverse the bigger bigger trend? I have written John Deere corporate several times basically asking them, as the industry leader, to focus more marketing towards their "6 row" customers instead of force feeding monster equipment. I"ve had some positive response from this. I hire local "smaller" farmers for any custom work and get some of my inputs from them. I"ve never asked a big guy for a custom price because I don"t care to do business with them. I refuse to pay over $150 cash rent as I feel the higher cash rent is what is really destroying the farming level playing field. My goal is to have someone in line when I can"t farm anymore to take over my small part-time operation. It may be a family member or even a younger hired guy from church or etc etc. Thats a long ways off! But what can we do as farmers and enthusiasts to help reverse the bigger bigger trend?
