Land Rent Strategies For When You Can't Be the Highest Bidder

by

Farm land values and land rents are a hot topic this winter. JP Gervais of FCC recently gave his thoughts on what’s driving Ontario land values, and University of Guelph’s Alfons Weersink offered insight into making land rent agreements work.

In this video, Huot highlights some very practical ways that farmers can offer value to a land rent agreement that isn’t in cash form.
