As a farmer, you’re a hands-on person and probably do most of your own work. You know your land better than anyone and how best to farm it to create income for your family. However, there are a lot of challenges that can make it tough to grow big profits.
Over time, new ag services have been introduced that help farmers add consistent and incremental annual income. Many farmers today choose to source premium livestock feed from animal nutrition specialists. Spraying crops is often done by the local co-op, which is highly effective and prevents the capital expense of buying that equipment. Crop consulting firms provide strategic ideas for specific seed varieties. Many farmers prefer to lock in a portion of their crop prices using a commodity broker. If you use any of these commonsense approaches to sourcing quality services from experts, you can help strengthen your farm’s financial performance.
Over the last couple of decades, leasing out hunting ground has become an ancillary opportunity for farmers to add some additional income. When it comes to leasing out a farm to hunters, many growers try to do this independently. It seems simple on the surface, but like the other ag services we described above, getting maximum benefit comes from using a true industry expert. In reality, there are several important reasons why using an experienced hunting lease service will maximum annual income for your family with the lowest risk and least amount of hassle for you.
If you’re considering joining other farmers to rent out your farmland to hunters, here are three reasons why you should look at an expert leasing firm:
1) Secure the maximum price per acre for your farm from the largest hunting rights market in the U.S.
2) Receive the lowest possible risk from a proven & time-tested lease with a $5M liability policy
3) Minimize hassle and time from a full-service offering that handles all the paperwork for you
