Mather, Manitoba | Old man passes away 3 years ago, uncle quits farming (5 years ago)and we rented his land (brother and I). He ASSUMES that we are younger and dumber and that he is a master farmer. Money and family, never a good thing. Everything we did was the opposite way he farmed and we have better results than he did. His attitude wasn't handling it very well. It was irrelevant arguements that we encountered: not cultivating on the appropriate angle, have to use a specific bin for each specific field, swath a specific direciton, zero till and min till was the devils devices....
We dropped the Uncles land and re-rented some other land. He didn't find anyone to rent his land out to. Summerfallow.
In the lease it stated the land had to be "deep tilled" in the fall twice and cultiveted twice in the spring. Leases were for only one year.
