We have one of our sections in MS that is bid out every 5 years. Well, this year, some jack leg from Franklington, LA that has a section down the road from us came in with a bid of $21.50/acre and we were paying $7.50/acre.
We had to match it to keep it, so now when his section comes up for bid, I will bid $35.00/acre next year. Two can play this game and he knew that all our camps were around this section. We live in a world of greedy people and this guy thought he was going to walk in and take our place. I will work extra weekends once a month to get his now. Such is life, I may not be right - but that is how it will be!
