My wife and I just bought a 71 acre farm with an existing cattle lease. To say I don't know what I'm doing would be an understatement. :laughing:
I started looking at this forum for suggestions on which tractor to purchase but I have a question the lease first. The farm is REALLY overgrown. Too overgrown to bush hog the vast majority of acreage. I will probably need to purchase or hire a forestry mulcher to start. After the fields are cleared the question will be who takes care of bush hogging the land, me or the cattle farmer? Is it customary for the cattle farmer leasing the land to plant and bush hog? Any suggestions on the going rate for leasing land for cattle?
Thanks for the help.
