I don't think you just start doing whatever if you have leased it to a farmer to plant. I'm not thinking you are going to start telling the farmer what he should be doing and what he can and can't do. Probably for hay as well.

I am only saying this because I've seen several tracts of land get put in pines recently where they had some type of dispute with a farmer about something pretty minor in my book. Depending on the farmer they aren't necessarily playing around with their livelihoods. For example one farmer got told he couldn't get his crop out when he felt like he needed to get in there and cut it.... He cut it per the landowner's schedule. Then he packed his crap up left and hasn't been back. Really nice fields with historically high yields. You throw the wheat - farmer might throw you a bill for having to spray.

I am not saying that's what this situation is... but be careful in that mentality where you think you are going to do this or that. Everyone better get on same page beforehand.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
