[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1223691, member: 17986"] I have 150+ acres in long term free lease. All leases are in writing and enforceable. If the land sells or changes hands through heirs I either retain the lease or am to be paid for my improvements. The lands are owned by successful members of our community. On my three largest leases the owner sought me out. The places had been abused by the previous renters. I have spent considerable time and money in making the land productive again. One 50 parcel is hay only, another 50 acres is hay/pasture at my discretion. I have had the county extension agent and Soil and Water visit the lands. I follow their recommendations. The land owners are happy their property looks healthy again, are happy it is productive again. If I was not managing the land then the owners would have to pay for upkeep. While all of the properties have been leased for cash in the past, all had become neglected. I put 100 tons of basic slag on one place last year. I am spraying and drilling seed in two places this year at the cost of $5,400. none of the property owners care to bale hay or run cattle. There is little money in cow hay here. I need the hay to feed my cattle. I do not mind spending money on another person's place if I have it long term and free. I can treat it like my own. [/QUOTE]
