Wish you lived around here.  We don't know what's a fair price, but we 
lease our back 12 acres to our neighbor who grows hay and/or grazes his 
cows for $50 worth of hay/year!  He installed all the electric fencing. 
   I use the hay for mulch in my organic gardens and we don't have to 
mow 12 acres.  Win-win.
