[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1748688, member: 25884"] We no longer do any new leases without a written contract... to protect both parties... Also in Va we have some pretty good rights as lessee's.... and the lease goes with the property if it is sold... and any real estate agent knows this if dealing with a farmer oriented area.... We do have a few "handshake deals"... and one has just given us a year as their daughter in law doesn't like the cow manure in the driveway of this place that is a summer getaway place. We have offered to run electric fence to keep the cows away from the driveway and house area... but they "don't think it will work"... all because they had fences built by someone they wanted to give work to, that did a stupid design so the cows can walk between the house, on the gravel driveway, and the front area fenced off for picnic, play area for the kids... It really is so dumb the way they did it... and they don't want a cattle guard and hate to open and close gates...so... whatever.... when they lose the ag tax breaks... and have all the grass to deal with as it is not "hayable" due to rocks and such... they will find out. The daughter is great and on our side... and technically she and the brother own it not the parents that are calling the shots... but the brother and his "nose in the air wife" are just too 'out there' to deal with. Luckily we have not done any work on the building I use for my calves and nurse cows this year... One reason my son bought the overpriced farm last year... to stop dealing with landowners that don't know what they are talking about...But it is their land... so you get it in writing for protection...
