A proven way for growers to increase profitability and decrease the cost of production is to farm more land. Leasing and share farming offer alternatives to buying land.

Key points

• Leasing and/or share farming land provide great opportunities for business expansion.
• Good budgeting is critical to successful lease and share farm negotiation.
• Economies of scale achieved with additional leasing and share farming land can reduce the cost of production.
• Always seek legal advice when preparing a lease or share farming agreement.
• ‘The faintest ink is better than the fondest memory’. Always document share farming and leasing agreements.
