I think something was lost here- We're not buying, never said we were. The land is for sale strictly for deveolpment purposes and nothing else. The family that owns it used to operate a feedmill, which was tore down last year.
One field is right next to ours, has been in gardens for Hmongs the last 3-5 years after they got out of cropping. The hmongs can't get enough families to go in on it again, so they're giving it up. We're offering to rent it for $200/tillable acre. This one should even show up on the same plot maps we have, but the geography has changed a little bit due to some water issues and such. Also some trees that have never seen a chainsaw on their side so there is some lost area around the outside. They have no motivation to trim it since they just want to sell it, and we've got our own overgrown fencerows to tend to.
The second field hasn't been planted since they quit growing crops. most of the field has been developed already, and about 17 acres is all that remains of it. It's oddly shaped because of winding streets and such that have been put in, and going around piles of dirt and where the buildings used to be. Using satelite images is probably the most accurate way to measure it due to it's odd shape, and any plot maps would no longer be accurate. We're offering less on that, and trying to go with a per-crop basis (if we plant 2 forage crops this year, we pay 2x, if we can get in a winter forage, then it's 3x) and we'd like to do pay-as-you-go on it simply because of the uncertain future of it. Lately houses have been selling, so it won't be much longer before it's gone.
Again- We're NOT buying, just renting. To buy is WAY over any kind of a budget for agricultural purposes.
We don't have crop insurance because Dad paid in for more than 20 years, and not once was he ever able to collect, even on our worst years where people with better crops had collected. We've been going for probably 10 years or more without it and we've been doing just fine, even with last year being the way it was.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
