WBYman,
Please send me a contact number where I can reach you.
Just for everyones inforamtion, I am involved in leasing 4000+ acres in Brown and Schuyler Counties and I pay anywhere from $15-70 per acre.
I might be interested in all of them for a long term deal.

[email protected] This is why it is hard for the average guy to lease a small piece of land. You have people with alot of money hoarding it all up therefore driving up the prices on every other available piece of land around.
This average guy finds plenty of land to lease in very good counties through out the midwest for lease much cheaper than what this guy is asking for his family farms. It's all about how hard you are willing to look. If you are going to lease through a middle man then you are most likely going to pay a much higher price. I have learned over the years it's best to lease straight from the land owner. You get a better price and a long term deal by doing this. To meet land owners you must make a road trip because 9 times out of 10 you aren't going to meet them on the internet.
On a side note be very cautious of leasing in Schyuler Co or central west IL for that matter. I have heard from several of my contacts in the area that reported a large deer kill from EHD.
