Loren: It sounds like your not happy with how the renter is operating the ground. There is a real easy solution to this issue. Farm it yourself. You can see what type of profit or loss you can generate on your ground.
I am not a fan of BTOs at all but I do support farmers, large or small, trying to make a living. One of the things you need with today's high input costs is crop insurance. That insurance coverage includes preventing planting coverage.
Planting a crop of soybeans this late in MN would be a money loser 9 times out of 10. Your too far north for the crop to mature correctly and the yield would be low.
The cost per acre to plant even 16 acres could real easily be $4000-5000 plus the rent. So let assume you would get 30 bushels per acre yield. 30 x $11.50x16=$5520. So if he is paying you much rent at all he would just be turning dollars at the 30 BPA yield. Truthfully I bet that 20 BPA would be closer this late in MN. Maybe ZERO BPA if there is early snow.
Be glad he sprayed the weeds and is paying the rent. You really do not have much to complain about other than looks. Your field is technically HIS as long as he is current with the rent.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
