Land lease Question

[john250]

Hello need some help! I just signed a contract or lease a farm for 3 years the day after i signed it i found out i had a better farm to lease and now dont want to lease this farm The lady who owns the farm is not as nice as most people would be but is throwing a fit when i told her i didnt want to lease it and told me i was going to uphold the lease or she was taking me to court i tried to explain it to her but she said i was going to uphold the contract or going to court i must bush hog the farm keep fence in repair and keep the fence rolls clean i was wondering if there ius a way i can get out of this lease legally. i want to concentrate my efforts to this farm close to my house and it is much better farm i know i screwed up and signed it so i guess i will have to do what i agreed to but i just messed up and made a mistake. What can she do legally and am i stuck. Any advise or help would be appreciated,. Thanks

My response here is to the original post in this now 3 page thread. I've read it through.
If you want out of the lease, negotiate a cash settlement with the landowner. She has real expense involved in finding a new renter plus the time she wasted on you. If it was written down (the lease) then she can (and should) take you to court.
A career in law enforcement makes one very aware that there are always loopholes in the law. And you came to the board asking us to find you a loophole. It went sour for you from there.
It goes without saying that there are frauds in the cattle business. Another post on this forum is discussing a purchase of mortgaged cattle. But, generally, cattlemen are going to do what they shake hands on. I've been flattered a number of times in my career by businessman who tell me "No problem. Cattlemen's checks are always good." When you walk away from your deal with this landowner you are making business just a little tougher for everyone else.
You must not be running for re-election. Don't you think this landowner is going to tell the tale of her dealings with you often and loudly? How many votes does it take to swing an election there?

You described the situation in your original post.

My local sheriff is honest, hard working and a darn good manager. I took his competence and his ethics for granted until now.

I offered my opinion. I'm outa here. I'll be careful driving in KY.

you folks know if you had an agreement to keep cows there you would be in a mess trying to find a place to move the cows if you are counting on that farm. you have to be as good as your word dun where are you 8)

we wil let a judge and jury decide who is in the right

Surely this case wont consume the time of a judge and jury, and clog the legal system with this kind of BS? :roll:

Or do you think she looks alittle potbellied?

I stole it off the internet. I think it was in an article about Russia having to feed it cause the grain(can't remember which grain)crop had a bunch come up in it and they couldn't harvest so were just turning the cows loose in it. I don't know if they drank the milk or not.

Warden, did your maternal parent ever free any female bovines?

That explains it quite well.
