[QUOTE="damengineer, post: 1748765, member: 24810"] In Oklahoma, the lesee is protected fairly well. A lease cannot be broken without a years notice.. I found that out when we were dealing with the eviction I mentioned. I wish things had not gone the way they did on that, but my old friend is still my oldest and best friend as we mended the fences, so to speak.. I wish I could make the move to the other farm and leave this crazy area. I had a bad experience with one of the biggest farmers in this area the first year I was here. It nearly bankrupted me. I had to take a job with the state to pay off the combine I had bought because of that big farmer. It probably worked out to be the best thing that could have happened. It allowed me to retire at 54 and start my own consulting engineering company.. My Dad & I spent 2 weeks combining oats out of a windrow for this guy and then he refused to pay. The combines I owned decided to turn to crap the day after I started combining. I bought a newer Massey one from the JD dealer so I could finish the job I had agreed to do. All was on a handshake deals as I was taught to honor. The lawyer we ended up with was worthless and went on to be our state representative. I worked with a old dirt contractor, Larry Denton, may God rest his soul, for the last 12 years who did not use a written contract. We did work all over NW OK. I did the engineering, and he did the excacvation, and we had decided if we needed a written contract, we did not need the work. We built one of the biggest private dams and lakes in western OK on a handshake. It was over $250,000. this fellow was a Vietnam Veteran Marine. He was missing part of his foot, and became one of the best friends I ever had. Sadly his wife passed away with Alzeheimer's and he died a week later. His 4 sons carry on the business as he did. We all miss him every day.. God must have needed a lake in Heaven.. [/QUOTE]
