RE: Indiana
You are right about not everybody can afford to buy or lease land. But you can’t blame the farmers for wanting to make some extra money. There not getting rich off of leasing. You always want to make as much money as possible at work so why shouldn’t they be able to do the same. I think it’s a revolving circle just like corn prices. It will peak then go back down. I’ve been offered $5,000 from a guy to hunt my 56 acres. Turned him down because he wanted sole rights. I could use that money and go to an outfitted hunt but that’s not my style. Indiana hunters will never be on the same page. There are too many small tracks of land. Not like Illinois where a farmer may own thousands of acres here they might own a couple hundred.
