BHW, be careful on the land that you lease and the landowner as well.
Some just want to "rape" you for everything you have. Some can afford to pay the complete taxes on the land..others cannot. If you set a high lease prescedence it will always be high to lease that land.
On our farm we lease land at about $4-6 an acre. Once it's leased you have complete control of all game harvested as well as who enters.
At this time there are 2 police officers that lease land for primarily goose/duck hunting here.
I am an arborist and instead of paying a fee, I like to offer my services for TSI (timber stand improvement) Landowners jump all over this idea.
There are times when a landowner just says....help that old orchard out on a yearly basis and you have exclusive rights. I always poo hoo the exclusive rights thing. I have never remembered saying...it's mine...all mine! I have posted land in my name, with landowners permission but that is just to help know who the "askers" are.
Sevices for usage of a property can win people over fast!
Just and idea here.
