Nebraska Land Link, a new University of Nebraska Extension program, is accepting applications from interested land seekers and landowners.
The program will connect new farmers and ranchers with retiring landowners interested in passing on their land through lease agreements, lease-to-own arrangements, buy-sell arrangements, or other creative methods that are mutually beneficial for both parties.
“The high cost of land, livestock and equipment makes it difficult for beginning farmers to purchase these capital assets,” Allan Vyhnalek, Extension educator for farm and ranch succession. “And many landowners are asset-rich and cash-poor, need to earn income for retirement from their land, equipment and livestock while transitioning away from the labor and management of their operation.”
Enrollment applications and information can be found on the Extension Farm and Ranch Management website at farm.unl.edu/landlink.
