A haying lease does more than put hay in the barn—it protects both landowners and tenants. Our partner @TiffDowell Lashmet from @txextension Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and NALC Research Fellow Taylor Harwood have teamed up to develop a checklist that breaks down the must-have terms in a haying lease, including:
✅ Basic info (parties, land, duration, purpose)
✅ Payment terms
✅ Obligations of each party
✅ Land-specific requirements
✅ Common legal terms
Plus, find sample lease agreements to help you get started. Read the checklist here: https://t.co/NDB6ukcq8v

Before you toss it in the shopping cart, read the nutrition label. 🛒

Dr. Jenna Anding, AgriLife Extension nutrition specialist and professor in @TAMUnutrition, says the Nutrition Facts label beats marketing buzzwords every time. Terms like "organic" or "cage-free" sound healthy, but they don't tell you much about a product's actual nutrition. https://t.co/E1S99eVOfX
