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.
