Farm Credit East offers various financing options, including leasing. A lease may be a beneficial option to preserve operating capital, especially when taking on a new project or making a large purchase.
State programs have protected over 436,000 acres from development in the seven states served by Farm Credit East. There are growing concerns, however, about limitations on farming practices and necessary investments on protected land.
The end of the calendar year is typically when a lot of farm land leases are up for renewal in the Northeast, making it a good time for producers and landowners to take stock of their agreements and make changes if necessary.
