Forage Hay Agreement

[good]

What comments do you have regarding the Forage Hay Crop Lease Agreement outlined in the Specialists Corner article titled Forage Crop Share Agreement. Read it at http://www.agri-ville.com/newspaper/outspec.htm This arrangement was utilized in the Cremona area on export timothy hay with some mixed legume stands. The first premise behind this arrangement is that a 50-50% hay split is equitable when the landlord and the custom operator each pay 50% of the fertilizer costs. This Crop Share Agreement may become more popular as a risk reduction method, given this past summer's inclement weather.
