Yes land prices are crazy in south west Wisconsin the amish and government plus big dairys are driving prices up. The amish are getting low intrest government loans buying anything then can get there hands on then plow everything up even ground the bigger guys wont.The bigger dairys and mid size dairys are also looking for land we have one guy daily hauling with tractor and large spreader several miles and you can imagine what damage that does. Corn farmers they to are pushing prices up . I was renting to a guy every spring he complained about the high price of rent and he never said a word about the time corn and beans hit the high spots . Over the years he has lost ground people would get tired of listening to him he got his farm paid for and nice vacations his son is to lazy to get out and work and never would touch a manure shovel but he has a nice house. Yes there were good years i know what his government payments were but it was funny that even as my taxes and my cost went up he thought it was ok that i got half what everyone else got .When i put my farm up for bids it was surprising that so many thought it was ok that i got half price but then a young kid with good strong family and over a century of farming behind this family (they must be doing something right never building fast good solid growth) came up and said business is business . I thought about that did the previous renter when times were good did he share that or did he put the extra in his family's pockets? Yes he had more risk but i farmed also and because of that i knew what kind of land this was but is it worth it ? Granted i do have an unique opportunity here i don't have family but even with family this can be provided to others put the previous renter in the agreement we had he could have bought this farm for a thousand an acre land next to it was selling for over ten. I still can't believe he walked away from that he wouldn't even place any bid cost me over six thousand in legal bills to put the fence back in between us his thought was i would give him twenty thousand a year and give to his son free my farm. He is very mad that i grabbed this opportunity at getting a better life and now i might be looking at a new house thankfully one with no stairs as i get older its getting harder to work two jobs to pay the bills and now with a better renter its possible. Is this going to continue that was one thing i thought of before i switched so far this new renter has paid higher rent done bulldozer work spread lime and made this farm and my life better yet there is a lot of people that would think this is wrong. Well i take less in the future now that i put up a new house and fixed up the farm like i said I've been around farming all my life i seen good times and bad i learned to improve in good times and sit tight in bad YES I WILL TAKE LESS this renter improved my life and my farm when he could he will take every opportunity to make it better all i ask is honesty he will also have the opportunity to get this farm at half price when i am gone for the simple reason he shared when times were good he helped out and never once have i heard him say i did this he should be grateful .
