I don’t know what farmland goes for a that area….but it would rent for about $75 - $100 per acre in my area if it was good ground and didn’t flood.
Additionally, you have to work out:
- when the money is due (before planting or after the crop comes off)
- if a tree falls on the turnrow, who cleans it up.
- Who bush hogs the turnrows.

20-25% crop share used to be common in that area. Owner only provides maintenance to any irrigation wells. Years ago I scouted crops in that area.

If you owned it, what would you charge per acre per year for it?
Roughly $180-200/acre, assuming average yields of like 220 bu/ac corn and 70 bu/ac beans.
Typically on irrigated land, the landlord is responsible for upkeep of everything under the ground, and tenant is responsible for everything above the ground.
Tenant maintains roads, soil samples, and applies recommended rates of Lime, P, and K every other year at a minimum. Tenant tends to ditch work, assuming there’s no major issues there. If major ditch work is needed, landlords will sometimes cost share that, or shave some off the first year’s rent. Tenant is on their own after that.

What if one of the co-owners wants to harvest a doe off the land, but there's nothing in the lease addressing hunting?

Not sure what you’re asking. Co owner of the land or of the farm? The farmer is signing a farming lease, not a farming + hunting lease.
It’s your land to do whatever you want as an owner.
That said, if I’m farming a place with an absentee owner, I’m not going to be throwing up stands to hunt the place without explicit permission… BUT if it’s Dec 20 and I’m riding that place looking at what kind of weeds we’ve got to kill, making sure it’s draining well….whatever… and a 150” buck is chasing a doe across a wide arse open field on that place, yeah I’m going to sling a little lead.

This is my logic. I just don't want no trouble. I don't even want a big buck. A doe or two will do.

I’m saying this as a farmer. The farmer is paying to farm, not hunt.
Any hunting they get to do is allowed out of the goodness of your heart. If you’re going to let them hunt and all you want to do is swoop in and pop a couple does, anybody that’s not a shite bag will tell you where are when they’re usually coming out.
I’ll also say, if it’s good hunting and you just straight up offer them the hunting for “free” in exchange for helping out when you want to kill a couple of does, they won’t be too upset when you go up $10/ac when it’s time to renegotiate the lease.

If you want to find out what row crop farmland rents for in your area, just search it up on the internet. In Louisiana, it is tabulated by parish every year and it varies considerably. For instance, unirrigated row crop land in Louisiana ranges from $58 an acre to $108 depending on the parish.

Gemini told me this-
The lease does not explicitly state the tenant has hunting rights. In fact, it explicitly states they do not have hunting or any "recreational" rights.
Looks like I'm planning a trip to Arkansas this fall.

Hunting/Fishing Rights: Under Ark. Code Ann. § 18-16-113, the right to hunt or fish on leased farmland belongs exclusively to the owner unless explicitly granted to the tenant in writing.
