I"ve got a question I"d like to get some feedback concerning BTO"s in your area.
Recently my mother passed away leaving the home farm to us boys. A brother continues to farm the homestead as he has for years.
Anyway a BTO has come along and offered 400 per acre cash rent which is interesting but I"m not 100% confident with this BTO or very trusting of the offer.
I no longer live close to the homestead, the area I live, some of the BTO"s have a reputation of paying big bucks for cash rent. Along with that reputation, they are known to rape the land by not fertilizing properly, maintaining weed control, etc. Then at the end of the contract split, leaving a worthless piece of land that cost THOUSANDS to get the land back in shape.
What are the reputation of some of the BTO"s in your area? Or is this just a problem here?
"IF" we decide to rent, the contract will have to be bullet proof to hold them accountable ~ correct?
