Rent in the Piedmont area of NC

jrwhitler · Aug 14, 2015

What is the average rent per acre in the
Piedmont? Does it change based on the crop
grown? (Hay,wheat, corn, tobacco, etc.)
Sorry this might not be the best forum to
post this question to, but I couldn't find
a discussion topic that fits it.

Several years ago after the tobacco buyout a local tobacco farmer was paying $100 per acre for tobacco cropland. i don't know if it has changed over the last few years.

Best source is your county FSA office.

F.S.A. better not be giving out that info. We tell them that in confidence.

Why in the world would you be telling the FSA office what you pay in cash rent???????

100.00 an acre or more for organic tobacco in the Greensboro area is about average but that is for certified organic ground. Most row crop or hay farmers are paying around 35 an acre. Probably 50 for conventional tobacco.

I am not saying that FSA will tell what any particular operator is paying for rent, just the average. Nothing at all wrong with that.

Because they use that info to base rent that THEY pay to operators for various subsidy payments.
