If the farmer who is leaseing it is reseeding it keeping it in good order etc I stay with him and if he is giving you 120 an acre I would not push him too much on it as it sounds as if he pays on time. You might get 150-170/acre from another farmer who will not look after it as well be slow to pay the rent and for the last year or two he is renting treat it badly so that he can rent it on the cheap next time
