Nothing.
I agree to mow twice a year thats about it. Around here that's worth about $100 an acre ($50 a cut) to the owner if they want it cut. Take away added cost to rake, bale, move, store, and sell it, it works out about the same to me vs using a brush hog, taking the $100 and being done with it. Either of us can opt out at any time.
I am on my last 50/50 and I gave notice this year that I had no intrest in next year. Just to the point it is not worth it (grass hay prices are to low). If they want me to do it for them its $2 - 2.50 a bale (depends on fuel) in the field for them to pick up. Add 50 cent a bale if I hire help to put it in their barn.
I manage the ground I pay rent on. 7 year min on any new ground. 5 year renewals. Land conditions set the rates. I have prep'd (weed control and tillage) to many pastures for the big boys around here to mess with anything less (LESSON LEARNED). Rates can be between 75 and 125 an acre.
You might find someone to rent it for a "pasture" but you might have to supply water and/or fencing.
