This sounds a great opportunity I wish you were in Yorkshire!

A great opportunity for someone and pleased to see it posted as a share farming opportunity. I hope the buy-in from both sides provides a great model for others to do the same

Oh to be younger and nearer

Is anyone already doing this sort of arrangement on a livestock enterprise and have an outline of a contract?

I was involved in one, but the contract was very over complicated IMO wrote by an agent that caused both parties more grief than needed.

6months in to something similar. Observations so far- Keep it simple. No 2 agreements are the same and keep a minute/record of formal meetings.

We looked at a share farming opportunity on similar acreage for son and the agent's advice was to complicated on such a scale and livestock not work as well as arable. The advice was just rent land which we do.

I find myself in a similar position to the op. We have two separate farms not far apart. I am torn at the moment of whether to employ someone, offer a share farm opportunity or just let it out. Tbh, as the owner, letting it out seems the least likely. Also, on the other side of the fence, I assume you would need far more of your own capital to rent, rather than share farm?
