Ag leasing workshop in San Angelo Oct. 19

​​​SAN ANGELO – ​​The final program in Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service’s 2017 series of Rancher Leasing Workshops will be Oct. 19. 

The workshop addresses the legal risks associated with grazing, hunting, and livestock leases, said Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, AgriLife Extension agricultural law specialist in Amarillo. The goal is to educate landowners and producers on the importance of using written leases as a risk management tool.

Attendees will receive a leasing handbook that covers legal issues, designing lease payment structures and calculating payments, and landowner liability. The book also will provide checklists and sample lease forms for negotiating lease agreements.

The workshop will be from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Tom Green 4-H Center, 3168 N. US 67. The free program is funded by the Southern Extension Risk Management Education Center. Lunch will be provided by Ag Workers Insurance.
