Land Lease

[Lazyacre]

I am looking for a guide to use in preparing a land lease. I am renting pasture land from the in-laws and want to make sure all bases are covered as to who is responsible for what. The last thing needed on top of unruly cows is a group of mad in-laws.

Go Here and look around - it is Canadian, but I have used the basic outline to rent land south of the border. You will find it delves deeply into the agreement.

Get liability insurance!

If you need more info - send them an email - they are quite obliging.

MPR has a point - but I have to admit that we have usually not had any problems that could not be resolved - mind you all my family are ag oriented and understand that things often happen that are out of our control.

Play the game / take your chances.

I tried to rent from family not long ago and swore it would not effect family relations. They backed out right before I was going to give them the check. They said they had changed there minds and decided to plant trees in the pasture. I had allready purchased additional cattle . I would have to recommend not doing business with family if it is possible. I am sure there are cases of everything working out but I think more times than not it will end in disaster.
