You're lucky. Several problems exist here. A couple potential landlords have a mercenary mentality. This means absolute top dollar and issues to care of the land do not matter. Offer 1 penny less than some poacher and you're out on your tail. Want to put down U-235 as a growth enhancer..sure.
Then we have the people who I suspect of taking part of the rent under the table. There is an owner here who seems awfully happy to be getting substantially under the going rate and the tenant does not mow, clean ditches, etc. as payment in kind.
Also, we have the type who flat out have lost touch with reality. Kind of hard to describe here. I guess one of the issues that could be described is talking to them could be like walking through a minefield.
Then there are the people who are obsessed with the BTO's who have buddy seats in all their tractors, combines, etc. even though they will never go for a ride.
I could make the best business offer possible and still have less than a 50-50 chance to pickup ground.
Anyways, congrats on being able to implement a plan that benefits both parties and neither has reason to feel cheated.
Lastly, the competition here has gotten almost brutal here and not long ago poaching was unheard off and poachers shunned. But not anymore. Guys are readily trying to grab other farmer's holdings and stopping by the competition's house to establish who has what and what the retaliation for competing (not poaching) will be. Even some of the agribusinesses are showing very open favoritism.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects. ... [Read Article]
