I’ll have to sell in the next couple of years. Bought 133 acres of junk land in Montague County a LONG time ago for chump change. Land around it is now selling for about $10,000 per acre. I’m 82 yoa and don’t need the money but am hitting the point where I have to depend on others to get things done. That sux. Heavy taxes on the gain and that also sux.

Wife is good about a lot of things but business negotiating isn’t her strong point.

To the guys that are leasing, that greedy landowner could be in a financial tax jam. Several small landowners around me have had to bail out.

And some folks still want lease prices to be what they were in the ‘90’s. If you don’t have some serious income on a ranch today taxes will force you to sell sooner than later. It’s a catch 22 for leasers and landowners. Property taxes are destroying private land ownership.

Someone mentioned looking for a lease and wanting to pay 2500.00 a gun. I cover a lot of country and those days/prices are long gone!

What would you say is the going lease price PER ACRE these days? Wouldn’t a smaller place (100 acres or so) still be in that 2500 range…with 2 guns?
