$1K/acre is cheap unless you are in Hudspeth County Texas.
Paid $200 an acre for 3 1/2 sections adjoining our ranch there. Thought that was outrageous. Should have been about $50 an acre, and wasn't too long ago that it was...
I tried to lease a place to deer hunt only, in Ms. a few years ago. Fellow wanted $50/acre when the surrounding land was going for $5-$7/ acre.
