Manure Lagoon pipe across another property

A friend of has land across from a large dairy. They want to cross about 1500 feet of my friend's land to lay the lagoon pipe. He was asked to sign a 5 year agreement. The only other things on it are that they will farm it for 5 years, will follow EQIP(Great Lakes Restoration Program).
How much of an agreement do you need in a case like this? My friend has 850 cows; so he is farmer friendly.
Somethings or lack of do not seem right? Would like to have some ideas to include. Would like to avoid a full blown lease. Have already talked to a lawyer
 
I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on TV...Kidding on the last one.

The land owner is in control. If the land owner does not want to sign a lease they don't have to. Now if I was the party wanting to cross the land, I would desire a lease so I could make plans.

It's too bad more people can't do business with a handshake anymore. Sure was a lot easier and you knew if there were issues they could probably be worked out.

Good luck!

Leak stipulations, crop damage repayment, pipe access rights (rite-of-way)and end game issues (what happens when it is no longer used/abandoned)come to mind. A local land friendly lawyer is appropriate. They should pay for your lawyer's review. Jim
 
Seems to be something missing here, how much will they pay for this easement how much for them farming his land.

Walt Farmer 1 (needs the pipeline) would bury the pipe and exchange an equal amount of land with Farmer 2
for five years. It would be a friendly exchange, but I question the 5 year period and liability issues. Farmer 1 said verbally he will do the land transfer this summer.
 
I agree with lower post. Lay it on top while in use and roll up when finished. If there is a need to bury I question WHY. They do it over my land all the time. They run a culvert where I cross over often or daily and slide the hose through there and the rest is over top. Very little damage to the field if they are running it in a strait line. They make one track over the field and try to do it only as often as needed. Give me 10 chickens every now and then and all is good.
 
They are not reading your post correctly, the Dairy farmer needs the pipe to pump to the STORAGE Lagoon on a daily basis. They will then pump from the lagoon to the field with hoses. Two different things completely.
 
(quoted from post at 12:19:25 04/15/15) have them lay hose on top of the ground. roll it up when they are done.

I expect that friction loss makes a fairly large pipe like 12-16 inches necessary. A hose can be perfectly good for application systems where flow and distance are not so great.
 
your right, did not understand what they were doing.
If the pipe is under the ground, would it not have to be deep enough that there would be no lose of land wants it is put in.
 
if it's just to lay the pipe , why does he need the land ? sorry I'm always wary about someone wanting my land .
 
How deep is the frost line where this pipe will be laid? Here in Iowa if they want to guarantee it wont freeze it would have to be at least five feet in the ground and that means bringing up soil that will grow less crop over the trench for quite a few years. If the pipe bursts and shoots a geyser in the middle of the field at night when no one will see it that land could possibly have a lean put on it to cover clean up costs. Chances of it happening are slim but someone could screw up laying the pipe making a weakness. Just a few things to think of.
