Leasing land for grow?

[krustytheclown]

Hi!

Just messing around and wondering what you know about leasing farm/hunting land in the US for a grow.

Some websites talked about $X per acre but didn't indicate if that was per year or per month. Which would it be?

Also, if I were to lease the land and say it was just for hunting/camping, should I expect the owner or his family to still come onto the property for recreation?

If one were to lease land, is the lessee expected to pay another other costs, such as taxes, insurance, etc?

Is privately-owned hunting land patrolled by game wardens?

i know landlords often walk and check on hunting land (being a hunter) but all depends on the land owner but it makes it a million times easier to come out of the woods and explain why you were there (was setting up a tree stand, making a blind, tracking deer patterns, etc.) depends alot on the location n who owns it. personally im a farmer but not a "farmer" so growing legit crops would be a waste of time and money for a cover up for me so id lean more to the hunting lease

Come up with a down and buy the land. At the end of the year return it to the seller. Keeps the owner off the hook and off your land.

I think leasing land is a great idea. All the terms of the lease will be spelled out in the contract so you will know where you stand as far as owner access, etc. I would look up some examples of 'agricultural' leases and see if something like that would fly with the prospective land owner.

No real experience but isnt the farm land that leased fields not forest. I have seen plenty of land leased but your plants would stick out like a sore thumb in the middle of an empty corn/bean field.

Do farmers lease hunting land out?

Usually the price is quoted for the year. But the owner has an interest of what you intend to do with the land. He is still responsible for environmental stewardship. If it is fenced and has some pasture and water. Buy a couple of young steers and throw them on there. In the fall when you harvest you can drop a steer off at the butcher and have a few hundred pounds of beef for the munchies. And yes a game warden has more rights to access a property than any other cop out there.

theres a bunch of folks up north with properties that want good trustworthy growers to tend the farms, etc...i found a couple on the internet and talked to a few guys even though i probably wont follow through due to distance and the fact i already got a nice little plot with a trustworthy friend...but there up there. depends if you wanna take the risk growing on a strangers land....never know if he will tip off some rippers, and he doesnt know if you will do the same, so kind of awkward.

Kind of awkward.
Must spread some rep before giving it to Prop again!

If you are in a nonfriendly state I would advise against leasing land for grow on.

not smart. if cops find plants on the land, they are going after you first. if you do decide to do this, make sure you have ZERO trace of marijuana growing at your house.
