That is ridiculous. Glad he's coming around. I just started hunting a 160 acre farm my neighbor leases to a big family farming operation. They just picked the beanfield near my blind a few weeks ago so I moved my blind. I never even considered talking to the farmers about if they could harvest their crops according to my hunting schedule! On a somewhat related question, I've read some guys will pay farmers to leave a small section of corn standing for a food source. I thought about this for the late season but is there a going rate for leaving a section of corn and do farmers even want to do that or is it a pain in the arse for them?
