I have a query here for those with more knowledge than I.
I have a gentleman that bales our pasture and leaves the bales and equipment on our land throughout the year. When he needs a bale or sales one he comes and gets one. The only way to access the bales is through our front lawn, which leaves rutts sp? in the lawn. I was told this past week that there is some sort of law or something that states after Sept 1 a person can not remove these bales if they have to go through lawn (or something to that matter). Now we have been kinda crazy and although this man to bale our brome for a good five or six years without ever receiving any actual money. When we first agreed, he was using the same square baler and was suppose to leaves us ten bales. That happen one time. He baled a few times a year with the square baler and about two years ago bought a large round baler. He gets about 20 bales a couple times a year and leaves us nothing. We do not know his name or where he even lives. His machinary is on our property including the old stuff.
Well now we still have nine jumbo round bales out on our pasture and had a few days of soaking rain.
The police (OK long story) said the hay is ours.
How do we know the laws, or what to do.
No paperwork ever, just the original agreement of ten bales which we received once, or maybe a second time. No agreement to storing equipment here or anything else.
You see the story is now we have some horses and we have been buying hay. The folks around us tell us that we can use that hay.
What would you do? i can't locate the guy to offer to buy and it is on my land.Nine big bales would sure feed my horses supplemented with grain. Right now the horses are eating the pasture.
Ok what a book. someday i may become a writer but for now I need some good advice.
Thank you all who took the time to read this and offer you advice to a first time horse person or farm person whatever.
Can they move the brome across my lawn during these months?
Do you think the brome is mine? Maybe some? I have possession.
