Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by dave from MN on July 31, 2005 at 09:57:32 from (67.2.203.244):

Why would a renter (20+ years farming), leave his corn on my land just dry up and get stunted and leave the irrigation just sit there high and dry. 50 acres of what was just plain awesome corn before just looks like crap. The land adjacent to mine is getting watered regularily by the same farmer, he pays us same rent and soils are similar. Is there govenment programs that he can get good cash from for letting the crop fail? If the locals say anything to him bout letting the 2 pivots sit while the corn is drying up it he gets mad, I am told. I really do not understand this practice of not raising a crop to its potential the land is fertile and was well sprayed and fertilized, but for some reason one side of the farm is being allowed to struggle. I think I will have to really inquire about this to him as it is rented cheap and I may as well plant hay and run the land myself or just enroll it in CRP.
