ARCHER CITY – A Rancher Leasing Workshop covering grazing, hunting and livestock leases will be presented by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service April 19 in Archer City.

The workshop is one in a series addressing legal risks associated with agricultural leases, said Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, AgriLife Extension agricultural law specialist in Amarillo. The goal is to educate landowners and producers on the importance of utilizing written leases as a risk-management tool.

The workshop will be from noon to 3:30 p.m. at the Archer City Activities Building/Extension Office, 512 W. Cottonwood St. The free program is funded by the Southern Extension Risk Management Education Center.

Lunch will be provided by Ag Workers Insurance. Participants need to RSVP by April 13 to Lashmet at [email protected] or 806-677-5668.

Joining Lashmet on the program will be Jason Johnson, AgriLife Extension economist in Stephenville.

“Leasing agricultural land for grazing, farming, or hunting is extremely common and important here in Texas,” Lashmet said. “This program is designed to offer practical information to landowners and tenants about everything from setting lease rates, to legal issues to keep in mind, to landowner liability.”

Participants 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.

“We’ve had wonderful responses to these programs around the state,” Lashmet said. “So far, we have held seven workshops and had over 350 participants. Every one of those people said they would recommend this program to a friend.”

Land Market Report: January Land Sales

The rural land market in North Texas has had a fairly stale start to the year, with the number of transactions closed being minimal so far. There has been an increase in call volume from buyers, and some are turning into contracts, but I feel like we are still a little slower than we usually are at this time of the year. The “experts” are expecting fewer transactions in 2024 as compared to 2023, and they may be correct, because election years always seem to be slower. Once the election is over, and regardless of who wins, things seem to pick up once again. It is a strange phenomena that just seems to happen every four years.

With the amount of growth that we are currently experiencing here, I do not expect things to get any cheaper. More people means more houses, and they have to have land to build those houses on.
