Mostly own. Renting/leasing really depends on the area, soil type and quality. Good productive ground with good drainage can go anywhere from $200-400 per acre. Some have in ground irrigation which really jumps up the price. Again it really varies depending on the area tho. Lighter sand tends to be $100-250 maybe sometimes hitting $300.

Field shape, and size also affect value as does hills, rocks, etc. You wouldn’t think shape would matter much but these days with efficiency being so important many are willing to pay a premium for nice square fields. Larger farms are also less interested in small fields because they can be hassle with with the large equipment used today and the time it takes to move and set up that equipment. That said if the field is near land they already have they will be more interested. Field accessibility can also affect value. I’ve turned down some great land simply because it was a pain in the ass to get to like bad hills, landlocked etc
