What is the going rate for SW Ohio flat farmland that’s been worked? We have 7 acres the previous owners leased.

If we lease it out, what are some of the questions to ask and is there a standard contract for this kind of thing?

Thanks!

Helen, I am sorry that I cannot offer an answer to you questions.

My suggestion would be to talk to the local County Extension Agent and/or local bankers as these folks might have some information

Have you thought to ask the previous owner?

The USDA tracks those rates in your area so you can find out from them.

I get $550 per year for 115 acres leased farmland here in Maine
