[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 870396, member: 6291"] Marksmu, great post. I think what you described what is going to become the norm for future cattle men. Even if you have inherited or paid for land there are benefits to breaking it out like you have described. Some thing like planting grass, fencing, and other improvements seem overwhelming at times if you try to justify them for your cattle. If you factor in what those improvements do to your land value its a pretty good return on the investment. Plus if you do some thing like grass, which allows the leasee to run more head per acre, the leasor should be able to charge more per acre. You have the created additional cash flow on that side. I will add the importance of paying cash for these improvements. Interest and risk can change the whole game. I would also add that it can be done easily by contracting out tractor work or fence building because that has the labor and equipment factored in. Although it can appear to be more expensive than doing it yourself, when trying to get off the ground its nice to not have the tractor or equipment over head. Read back a couple pages. [/QUOTE]
