[QUOTE="Anymulewilldo, post: 7590499, member: 144597"] I have rented 2 such farms in the last 5 years. Both times the landlords approached me first. They’ve known me since I was a glint in my fathers eye type of thing. they have both taken a form of retirement, 1)they keep the fences in order (I help if needed) 2) they keep the noxious weeds in order 3) they maintain any other infrastructure items water troughs etc. My side 1) I spread muck over the whole acreage every year, 2) graze only our own stock 3) keep the job tidy. They claim the BPS as they are still maintaining the land, just too old too actually run the stock themselves. I pay a sensible rent which provides them an income but doesn’t cripple me and create the need too plaster everything in Nitram to scrape every penny out of the soil. If either of them want something specific doing they just ask and I work it into the system. it’s all signed up so that if they change their minds I get 6 months notice too quit. I think it’s grand. They are both old fellas who worked their balls off too buy and farm their farms. They don’t want too leave but can’t manage livestock alone any more. I get the land and the added store of knowledge that they have accumulated with regards too that land. I.e. where it lies wet, which fields stand hard grazing in the spring without affecting summer growth etc. They both come out too see what we are doing and offer to work gates or block gaps when we’re working there. One has a brilliant cattle handling set up so funnily enough the suckler cows live on his farm! there’s plenty of ways of doing it, this works for me without us both having money intertwined in a proper share farming agreement.
