Wholecrop Barley value

I have a neighbour who has asked me if I would be interested in selling him 50 acres of wholecrop barley. It is a nice even clean crop which I would expect to yield in excess of 3 tonnes per acre if combined with a good length of straw. Could anyone give me a rough idea as to the price I should be asking for it per acre as a standing crop?
I realise the price per acre will reflect the saving in combining & drying costs.
I do have a combine, drier and storage so I am not forced to sell off the combine.
