My neighbor dairy farmer (successful contractor turned farmer) has been renting our 45 +/- acre river flat land for the past several years. I kinda thought he was under paying us but its the deal he made with my late father and I just went along with it.
Well this spring I noticed that the cows are gone along with the hired man so I figure he's called it quits.
So yesterday I see a strange rig discing his nearby corn ground, so I figure if he's not doing custom work for my neighbor, maybe he would be interested in renting mine
I went and introduced myself,asked the question and surprise! he says he's rented my ground already from Mr dairy farmer!
Well,we got that straightened out immediately and now he's renting what's mine from me for 3x what Mr dairy farmer was.
So much for being good neighbors. Oh, and to top it off, Mr dairy farmer dropped off a check for the normal rent amount with the memo"land rent" today. He must not know I spoke to the new renter.
I will be returning it.
