How accurate is the the following info?https://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/Kansas/Publications/County_Estimates/KS%20csv%20links/KS_cashrents16.pdfWhat is the downside of converting around 300 acres of pastureland to non irrigated cropland?
I have no idea how accurate it is. Really no downside, maybe erosion risks. Might have to rip out fences or make the ground otherwise suitable for farming, earth work and such. Is someone paying rent to put cattle on it? And you now want someone to pay rent to farm it? Property tax miiiight be different dependent on use, not sure. Is there a livable dwelling on the property? Crop circles could be a risk.
It depends on how good the dirt is. If you will only be able to raise wheat on it....probably not worth it right now. If it is good enough to support corn or beans, you might be on to something.
Just because it grows good grass doesn't mean it will grow anything other than wheat. If it is bottom ground, you have a pretty good shot that it is decent dirt and would be suitable for row crops.

I think even within the same county the rent price could vary by 50% depending on the piece.
hmmm and it looks like itsclose to where the cab and bed meet not under the hood like I initially thought
