But there is always the temptation to then upgrade kit, better to sweat the land asset by working it harder. Let's face it you own 1000 acres which is a hell of a base asset to work from. I think cooperating with others is a good way forward, capture a share of the "profit" from the potato job by sharing the risk with the man. You've got to think outside the box, I am involved in benchmarking and there is NO ONE, I REPEAT NO ONE, making money on combinables unless high AVERAGE yields and good prices, and it just gets worse if you are paying rent or a profit share.
