RE: Can anyone help here or point in the right direction
My opinion is this: Find a farmer or land owner that will lease it straight to you..without the middleman (i.e. a lawyer or real estate agent). With a middleman..you'll pay more...b/c everyone has to have their cut. I found a family who has almost 1,000 acres..and just lease their farms out yearly. Just a couple papers to sign, exchange of $$, and a handshake is all we had to do..no legal junk.
BTW..what part of Indiana? The NE part of the state has some quality deer.
