I have heard some leases in Pike County are going from $75 to $100 an acre. You would think corn or beans was coming off the property. Better get it while its cheap.
That's pretty high from what I've seen/heard. Most are going in the $25-$50 range.
Personally, I would start low and know your limit for going up. Offer $25 per acre and see if you can get it.
