Land Rents...Close to Home

East Central Iowa - I wanted to give you a quick update on land rent in my area (30 miles North of Cedar Rapids).  On the low end we are seeing $250 per acre and on the high end close to $300.  There's been some talk about 2012 rent pushing up close to $350-$400.  Fortunately we are with landlords that gradually raise rent rather than price hikes of $100+ per acre.  I know most already realize this but $400/acre rent is over 60 bushels/acre at $6.50 corn, really doesn't leave room for error.  My son will make our operation a 6th generation farm, with some of our ground bought and still farmed for $1/acre.  Thanks
