Product Overview
A tree farm and forest nursery agricultural lease is a type of legal agreement between a landowner and a lessee who wants to use the land for commercial tree farming and nursery purposes. The lease provides the lessee with the right to use the land for growing and cultivating trees for commercial purposes such as timber production, forest products, or ornamental plants.
The lease typically specifies the duration of the lease, the rental rate, and the responsibilities of both the landowner and the lessee. For example, the lease may require the lessee to maintain the land in good condition and to use sustainable agricultural practices. The lease may also specify the type of trees that can be grown on the land and the conditions for their harvesting.
Tree farm and forest nursery agricultural leases are commonly used in rural areas where land is available for agricultural purposes and where the local economy is dependent on the forestry industry. These leases provide a way for landowners to generate income from their land while also promoting sustainable land use practices and contributing to the local economy.
This form is for the lease of substantial acreage for
the purpose of growing trees for resale by the tenant. The form
grants the tenant a purchase option for the property and a right of
first refusal for the property in the event the landlord wishes to sell
during the term.
The landlord's water rights are assigned to the
tenant during the term of the lease. Rent is paid monthly and is stipulated in the lease. All taxes, including water district taxes are payable by the tenant during the term of the lease. Likewise, utilities are payable by the tenant during the lease.
