How Are You Leading Your Landlords?

By: Darren Frye

An aspect of your farm business that you need to be thinking about all year round – but in particular, at this time of year – are your landlord relationships.

Many of us know and understand that rental ground can be fragile. There’s quite a bit less control when it comes to what’s going to happen with it in the future. Particularly if you rent a large percentage of your farmed ground, this can make it seem even tougher to make forward-looking plans – but it can be done.

Being proactive about relationships with current landlords is a good way to help manage the uncertainty that comes with rental ground. Taking the time to build and develop a strong working relationship with them can be helpful in all aspects, but particularly as it comes to any negotiations that happen from time to time.
