Here in SW MI, small parcels may rent for $80-100 per acre per year. I farm from five neighbors, very small plots of 3,3,4,4 and 6 acres- too small even for the neighbors who farm part-time to mess with. Four of the spots are side by side, so the fields are actually 6 and ten acres total. I don't pay any rent at all, they are just satisfied keeping the fields clear.

A clear, 10 acre field would be farmed for sure around here. I'm not sure what the taxes would be on non-homestead, 100% ag land without a house, isn't NY some of the highest taxes in the US?
