In an interview with Brownfield at a recent ag economic and technology summit in Kearney, Nebraska, Well Fargo ag economist Dr. Michael Swanson said a lot of producers haven’t been “tough enough” in negotiating their cash rents.
“The better farmers have been quick to say, ‘Look, a 250 cash rent–in this market with this price–there’s just not enough corn in the field for me to pay you that. You’ll have to have somebody else farm that’,” said Swanson.
