Leasing Your Land for Farming or Solar Production

• Saturday, November 12, 2016, 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Do you own rural land and wonder what it could be used for? Have you considered leasing to a farmer or solar company…or both?  Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County will host a workshop & discussion on this topic.  Find out whether your land would be suitable for farming or solar production, learn about taxes & regulations, how to find a tenant, and terms & conditions to include in a lease.

Speakers are: Monika Roth from CCE-Tompkins and Finger Lakes Land Link, a farmer-landowner matching service; Jon McNamara from Renovus Solar, a locally owned solar company; and Caleb Scott from Scott Land & Yard Services, Inc., a locally owned landscaping firm that grazes sheep underneath solar panels at several locations in the region.
