How do you enter Rent expenses / cost for a field?
I can enter it into other, but there is no unit $/ac available.

You are absolutely right! Land Rent shoudl be entered as an "Other Expense." I've detailed out some steps below and attached a screenshot of my entry that should help you along.
1. Enter your date.
2. Enter the description of the charge.
3. Choose the crop that this expense applies to. Note: You can only choose one crop per entry of other expense so if the rent applies across crop types then you would need to split the expense entry into however many crops it applies to.
4. Choose the fields that this expense applies to. Note: You can choose multiple fields and have the expense broken out across those based on acerage or using an even split.
5. Now enter either a Total amount or a Cost per Acre. It doesn't matter which one you use as the program will automatically calculate whichever one hasn't been manually entered.
6. Click on the calculator button to choose how the expense should be distributed against the fields. You have two choices. Either split the expense evenly as I have done in my example below, or have it split out based on the percentage of the Area each individual field contains.
