What is a Reasonable Duration for a Non-competition and Non-solicitation Agreement?

The decision I'm facing is in regards to an editorial contract as an independent contractor.

Under non-competition and nonsolicitation, the contract reads that "for a period of five years following [a possible] termination, [I cannot] directly or indirectly, solicit, or attempt to solicit, engage, or otherwise seek any association with any customer for whom [I] provided services under this agreement."

My question is whether the term of five years is too extensive for a reasonable duration (under Minnesota and Georgia law). Should I negotiate for two years?
