Land Lease question

Lease out my late grandfathers farm. He signed the original lease about 24 years ago. The land has constantly been rotated between hay and corn or oats. There is a real steep hilly part of one field that constantly washes out when in corn, and the renters dont care. Rotations are usually 6 years between hay or corn. This area is in hay now, and the lease is due in a couple years. I hate the fact that my property washes out, and grandpa never cared much as he had retired from farming. My topsoil washes into the woods or swamp. Im wondering about adding a clause to the new lease saying that portion of the property has to stay in hay. Any thoughts?

Contact your county soil conservation district and enroll that part of the farm.Probably pay better than renting it out.
If not,land in most areas is in short supply.You should be able to negotiate most anything you wish.Never needed a lawyer,just write down what you both agree upon and each sign it.Mark

He could maybe notill corn in the sod to help on erosion if he still wants to put it to corn.

Or maybe he already does notill and it still erodes.

What soil type and degree of slope are they C or D?

Just something to think about.

It is routinely chisel plowed in fall or spring following corn. Then disked in spring prior to corn planting. The soil is heavier clayish. Summer rains come and by late fall there are large ruts down the hills between the rows. The degree of slope is between 20 and 35 degrees at the steepest spot. This portion of the field drops down quickly to woods. This problem was never addressed by my late grandfather and now I wish to resolve it as it bothers me to see my soil wash so badly as these days the importance of good soil conservation is realized in most cases.

Talk to the tenant immediately, come to agreemnent and get it in the lease as soon as possible. You don't need to talk to an attorney until you and the tenant come to terms. Put the agreement in writing with copies and signatures for both of you. Get the agreement attached to the lease.

The land is yours, the tenant should be willing to meet your wishes or find somewhere else to farm.

Thats a good idea but you need to get with your lawyer to get the contract wrote as you wish.
