10 a acre is cheap for ky

u want us to think its bad, where u can slide a bid in ..lol

Maybe to you, but not to me.
I recently joined a lease of some of the finest river-bottom land in KY for less than half that cost per acre, and it's prime hardwood bottoms surrounded by thousands of acres of soybeans and corn, not pine trees.

And "why" was it going for less than $5 an acre?
No one else stepped up to pay a higher price.
Law of supply & demand.
460 acres of prime river-bottom land that has a rich history of producing not just "big" bucks, but recent bucks in KY's Top 10 (in this same river bottom).

Three of us on 460 acres, for $667 each, $2,000 total price, or about $4.35 an acre. And better than small "food plots", about 80 acres of that 460 is in agricultural crops (soybeans), equating to 17% of our leased land mass, which is again, surrounded by mostly corn & soybean fields beyond the lease boundaries.

Not that I consider approaching $5 an acre "cheap" for KY, but just an example of what can be had. We tend to "hear" more about the more expensive leases (in large part because it's often highly advertised). I have friends with comparable KY hunting lands who pay less, some of whom pay nothing, as the non-hunting landowners prefer having people they trust hunting their land rather than leasing it to strangers (something done mainly per advertising).

It's all about the law of supply & demand.


Nothing wrong with the property. I just think the min. bids are too high.
Personally, I'll not be bidding, nor do I know anyone else who will.
