But another way to come up with a figure is to start at the other end--what do you expect to make off the land, and what seems like a reasonable expense for that income? If you expect to gross $20,000 (to make up a figure), it might be reasonable to pay $500 or even $1000 (and I think you'd want to look at all your expenses together before deciding that). If your gross will be closer to $5000, then a few hundred bucks would be a lot.

If I were leasing land, I would want to be sure to have a lease for at least a growing season, preferably more, to justify the start-up investments of time and equipment installation.
