When you decide to allow us to farm your property, we will work with you to develop a Cash Farm Lease that is acceptable to you as the landowner. We do not farm any property using shares. All acres leased are on Cash Rent basis.
Unfortunately, a handshake is no longer an acceptable way to do business, so we issue a Cash Farm Lease for a few different reasons:
▪ We participate with the Farm Service Agency (USDA). We are required to report the acres and crops to this office to qualify for certain programs available to farmers.
▪ The Landowner’s signature ensures we have permission to farm the property, and the Farm Service Agency will keep our landowners informed on anything relating to their land.
▪ It is just a good way to do business. We know what to expect and the landowner knows what to expect.
