    Can you help me as a new land owner - how do hay leases work

    Really interesting about the whole "partner with a young couple" idea. Not sure I'll easily be able to find one in that area, but I'm gonna look. I have some fear about putting much in the paper as I don't want to advertise that my dad is no longer looking over the place. Got alot of meth...

    Can you help me as a new land owner - how do hay leases work

    Oh, sorry silver, didn't realize it went to page 2. I have no idea what kind of grass is in the field or what's been done to it lately. I know my dad had done some things to enhance it years ago. But, I just have no clue. I'm certain you'd all put me in the "city boy" category even...

    Can you help me as a new land owner - how do hay leases work

    Yea, I never paid close attention to the numbers of bails, but I think he'd have around 25-30 cows and then would end up with another 20 calves that he'd sell ever year. Kept them in one huge field and then cut and bailed all the others. He'd get two cuts and sometimes three. Seems to me...

    Can you help me as a new land owner - how do hay leases work

    Thanks George! Can I ask for a follow up, is my thought of asking or hoping for $2500 or $3000 per year, regardless of hay production or what they want to do to the fields, reasonable or does that seem high? From what I've read I'm hoping it's like half what is reasonable. I'm not trying...

    I guess, let me ask it this way...............if I decided to stop by some of the cattle farms nearby and ask them if they find themselves needing/wanting more hay and want to discuss a "deal" or "arrangement", am I a pain to you guys or is that a welcome and positive conversation? What's the...

    Can you help me as a new land owner - how do hay leases work

    That's what I'm hoping to arrange. Any suggestions on the best way to find somebody without getting myself into a bad situation? Are these things usually contracted or handshakes? My ultimate goal would be to get about $2500 or $3000 per year to help with the real estate taxes and...

    Can you help me as a new land owner - how do hay leases work

    I have no animals or use for hay. Do some of you just pay cash annually and take 100% of the hay you've worked? Is trying to get $15 an acre or something like that a normal thing?? I have no equipment and no cattle. Just several big hay fields that I know my dad could get a couple...

    Can you help me as a new land owner - how do hay leases work

    My father had 50 head of cattle, but passes away a few years ago. I have 500 acres in SouthWest Missouri with about 200 acres of pasture. I do not farm this pasture at all and only use the farm to hunt. I'm wondering what is a normal kind of arrangement that might be made with a cattle...
