Dang, CRP payments are $140/acre in IL., our farm in KS. only gets $42/acre for CRP! And actually, the $11,000 income is only IF the crops are successful and IF the market stays strong for cash crops! SO $11,000 potential, instead of $11,000 garaunteed income.

All valid points....But, the $110/acre that I received the last 2 years was "guaranteed" according to our contract. This year the cash rent is being negotiated for a higher amount. So, this year $11,000 is guaranteed in addition to the CRP contract. Thanks for your comments.

Well you won't be paying $3300.00 an acre in Monroe County. I am in real estate in Monroe County and it is crazy. We have a few farms here we hunt, but we have been buying our hunting ground elsewhere because the price is too high!!

Good luck, I hope it works out. Does the piece have a descent amount of woods on it? I have reviewed the maps of the county several times. It seems like the county only has a few descent size wood lots.

well its a small tract, we want it bad because there have been 5 deer killed in the last 3 years that score over 150" of the property. its only 90 acres, but you could safely hunt 4 people easy. its also surrounded by guys that have BIG pieces of property, that they manage year round. theyre 140" and above. the piece is about 60/40 woods/fields. its riverbottom ground, borders the mississippi, so the woods are very thick. theres 2 great watering holes, and all the fields can easily be planted in food plots.
