[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1656943, member: 40335"] In my location lease land is hard to come by. When and if you find any. Most wont give you a signed lease. Most of the land you find is bad condition from the fencing, soil condition, ph, needing lime things that is going to take two years in order to get it in good enough condition to grow descent forage etc..., in order to run cattle on. And i don't care if they are family or your priest once you get back in working order. They most of the time are going to take it back. Even when you can get a land owener to sit down with a lawer present and the two of you work out a legal agreed up on lease you can still have problems. Example i have one legal written lease on 65 acres. Good for 5 years. I had to build a quarter mile of fence. Spent $1500 runing a water line for a back up water supply because the creek that runs across it and pond sometimes runs dry in the summer. The place was covered in black berry vines , not to mention all the other brush. I should have had my head examined for ever considering leaseing it. The owner was 74 years old was brush hogging it with a little 4 foot brush hog doing the best he could. Was tilked to death that i would be willing to lease it. Had to haul in 5 semi loads of lime and i can't remember how many semi loads of litter. It wasn't a year that the old man informed me he was going to let his son in law and daughter build a new house on it. They fenced off 5 acres right in the middle of it. They now have 4 horses that arent broke to ride. One is a stud the other 3 mares. Looking for some minuture hores for the grand kids. The old man is happy as a lark and has told me more than once he wants to renew out lease a year from now when it runs. I haven't told him yet but it's no happening. [/QUOTE]
