Well drained land that doesn't creed tiles is rare. If land is well drained because of slopes, you're probably look- ing at erosion problems as well as machinery problems in coping with the slopes. Add to this lower organic matter levels and this in- creases your chance of her- bicide damage. Generally, if land is not fairly level and not tile drained, the rental should be discounted by 20 to. 40 per- • cent. The lower yield poten- - tial and higher risk factor of poorly trained land should be accounted for. . Production History There are the obvious things such as weed pro- blems and herbicides that have been used. Every year you'll hear about' somebody getting their beans planted on a newly rented farm only to find that the prior tenant used lots of atrazine the year before. The new tenant drops a bundle of money on a destroyed crop. The fertility and past per- formance of land is often a • good indicator of what can be expected. Fertility alone, however, can be misleading. For example, turnips are a heavily 'fertilized crop. Corn or beans following turnips, however, will rarely produce even average yields. Soil condition, rather than fertili- ty,' becomes a,li.miting fac- tor. All the working and com- paction takes a heavy toil on clay loam soils. In Fact, I wonder if you can afford to pay more than $25 an acre for land that was in turnips the previous year. If you grow beans, for, ex- ample, and the farm you are considering has already had a couple of years in beans, be careful. Each successive year of beans makes the land worth five to ten percent less for another crop of beans or corn. Similarly a corn crop following two or more years of corn won't have as high a yield potential and the land value should reflect that fact. Land that has had a crop of wheat and some red clover "-to plow down is worth a.10 to -- 15 o-15 percent premium when compared to land growing . corn after corn or beans after beans. Land that has had a . good crop of alfalfa may be worth a 20 percent or • greater premium. Another factor to keep in mind is the treatment of the land in the prior year. If it's a clay loam, it should be fall plowed or you'll likely drop 10 to 15 bushels per acre in corn yield potential. Land that was churned into a mud bath at harvest and plowed. in extremely wet condition will also have lower yield potential. Excessive tillage and compaction will reduce yields even a year later. Land is easier to break down than to restore to top condi- tion. Long Term Agreements Are Best What do you .do if you have :to pay more than land is 'worth' to rent it? You have two choices. If the land isn't worth the rent asked - don't rent it, OR, try to work out a longer range plan with the owner. In my opinion, a lease might reasonably be presented as a cropping and land management plan. The minimum terra of the lease should then be the length of the crop rotation plus maybe a year. The tenant should reap some of the benefits if the land management is good. If the land manage- ntent,practices of the tenant aren't gaxl. then the owner should be able to cut the lease short. The dollars per acre paid in rent each year could be tied to the commodity price index or the average price of corn or some other mutually agreeable index. Year to year rental agreements, w'lth no con- tinuity. are short sighted. (rood land management re- quires planning and time. 1,and that is rented year by year to the highest bidder will probably grow it crop of bt'ariS or (WTI every year - it•s the onll way' to justify the rental cost. This abuse of tti' land will eventually lower the value of the land. Its cropping potential will decrease..\ good, long terra cropping plan. works out well for loth the owner and the tenant. Ilowever..thc final word is with the landlord. Soils and Crops Specialist
