I've farmed on both my own land and rented land, and
there's pluses and minuses to both. The one drawback to rented
land is the prep work to get the land producing--it takes a good 3-5 years to
get it into decent production, and in the meantime, the possibility of it
getting taken away by the owners before I get to reap the benefits gives me the
hibby-jibbies. Plus I have a tendency to get "attached" to land so I try
not to do the rented thing.
As for getting your own piece of land, Alex
and Betsy Hitt (you can't farm long without discovering who they are) had a
novel approach to securing their farmland. They "sold" shares of the
property to family members, then bought back those shares over the years.
The farm is now owned by them free & clear.
Here's a look at their operation.
