Sounds like you aren't getting a heck of alot out of your 300 acresI'm sure you could find a farmer to pay for those acres and still get a first cutting of hay off it. Find a farmer to put in a rotation of about 30 acres beans, 30 arces corn, and 40 acres hay. Then take the 80 acre food plot and leave it or put in a 20 acres beans 20 acres corn and the rest food plot and you'll have a deer haven. Just request that you first cutting of hay and that they leave the plowing until spring. I'm sure you could find a farmer to do something like that still get 30-60 dollars an acre for the beans and corn. Would pay some bills and taxes and you'd be getting alot more out of your land..... Like said its your land and you can do what you want with it. If the other guy doesnt want to follow the plan then find someone who will. I gaurantee there would atleast be a farmer who would follow your plan for a first cutting of hay but you can do much better than that. The guy is making good money off your land right now with 80 acres corn with the corn prices right now and not renting and low cost of bailing you 30 acres of hay once. You'll figure it out. Good luck. WCL
