I have 30-35 acres of really nice hay fields I'm interested in leasing out for next years hay season. Due to a new job I simply don't have the time to deal with it anymore.
The stand is mixed grass & legumes, fertilized to 100% of what's called for by soil samples & averaged just under 2.5 tons per acre on this seasons 1st cut.
There is also a brand new 60x60x16 pole barn that would be part of the lease to be used as storage for the hay.
Location is SE Ohio.
There's a lot of information out there but much of it is outdated & obviously regional. So I figured I'd come here & see if I could generate some type of consensus.
Fair price for the lease? Lease it by the acre or by the bale? Long-term contract or year by year? What's the best way to advertise the lease?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
