Ok. Piece of land jsut about 1/3 mile from me could be available for rent, however due to high taxes in the area, the owner would like close to $100 an acre. The ground is level, a little rocky in a few spots but not bad, one of the fields is light soil, the remaining(larger of the total acreage) is pretty decent heavier soil. Most land I have now I pay from $25-$55 an acre( all non irrigated) in 2 counties, but in my county all the land I rent/own is on one section, renting it will put me in two sections, and possibly 3 (looking for enterprise units to save $$ on RA) if I get another piece I am after( cheaper rent though). It seems like high rent , but when I read what others are paying I feel I need to take into account what I would be paying per acre on average of all the land I rent, plus figure in the reduction of crop RA premiem's. It also is in an area that would qualify for soil conservation programs, and I beleive it is in DCP. I want to grow, it's close, I have alot of chicken manure to cut down costs, so corn would be failry profilable on average years, but beans would be hard to make it profitable on a poor year. Just wopndering what some of you think, or have done in this situation. I am spreading out and land is very hard to get around here. Owner and myself are gonna think about it for a couple weeks, he had mentioned doing it on shares, some thing I havent done before, is that a better option?

Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
