Almost 900 residents have attended ranchers leasing workshops around the state in the past three years, and it continues to be a highly recommended program, Lashmet said.
“Landowners and producers in East Texas enter into a wide array of lease agreements, from hay production and grazing cattle to hunting,” Lashmet said. “It’s important for landowners leasing land and producers who lease land to understand the best way to avoid conflicts is to have a strong agreement in place from the start. We cover aspects of land leasing that many people may not be considering, and our collective knowledge on this subject makes this program invaluable to attendees.”
