HF 2528: Providing for a best farming practices disclosure form to be completed, signed, and filed by the parties to a farm lease, and providing penalties

What it does

4).5). The bill provides that before entering into a farm lease, the parties to that lease must complete and sign a best farming practices disclosure form (form) to be part of the lease as an addendum. The form must include a description of erosion control practices, soil and water conservation practices, and water quality practices as approved by the committee and established by rules adopted by DALS. The form must then be filed with the commissioners of the district where the land is located and continues in effect until the farm lease is terminated unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
