Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

Jack: Here are several things to clear up on your interpretation of my earlier posting:

1) Here in Iowa there are pretty strict laws we have to follow when renting ground. These apply to both sides of the deal. Here is the how they work. If there is going to be a change in the lease agreement, from either side, the other party has to be notified by certified mail before Sept. 1 st. of the year before the next leasing year. So if I want to quit renting a farm I have to do this or if the land owner wants me off the farm he has to do it. If no notices are sent then the current lease agreement is legally bidding for the next crop year, on both parties. There is ZERO wiggly room in how the courts here act on these. So in this case the 2012 rental was all paid. The next rental payment is due on April 1st. That would be 1/2 of the 2013 rent. So there is a current agreement.

2) I did not call the older landlord and threaten to sue him. I called him and notified him that Steve ( who is not my son but a friend of my son) had been injured but he would be still farming the ground as per their current agreement. The old landlord then told me he was going to rent the ground that day to some one "able bodied". I then politely told him that he could not legally do that As no notices had been sent and that Steve was current on all lease payments. So the current lease was still in effect. He then blew up at me and started cussing me out and threatening me with what he was going to do. That is when I told him what I would do if he did rent to some one else while Steve was in the hospital.

3) What made this one fellow all upset was two different things done by a BTO that had contacted him several times on his ground. First the BTO called him just after harvest and offered him a high rent. The BTO was just stirring the pot because he called well after Sept. 1st. Second the BTO had call all but one of Steve's landlords and told all of them that Steve was hurt so bad that he would never be able to farm again or make the spring rental payments. This on the very next morning after Steve was injured. Even better New Years Day as well. So the old fellow is all upset and worried about not getting his rent that he needed to live on. Plus this old fellow is really a bad tempered man. Has always been. You have to stand right back up to him and bark back just as loud as he is or he will run right over you. LOL I have delt with him on other things for years. He can be a real piece of work.

After he came over and I paid him the spring rent all was as sweet as rain. I then got him to set down and talk about what the heck was going on. It turns out he was all upset thinking he was not going to get his spring rent. It also kind of gauls him the he could be getting higher rent else where, maybe. So I asked him who plowed his garden each year?? Steve. Who keeps all the water ways mowed and tree/weed free?? Steve. I also asked him who had kept paying the rent years ago when the cash price of corn drop to under loan rate??? Steve and earlier Steve's Dad. I told him to remember that the BTO that had called him DID not pay his rents one year when grain prices fell.

Steve has seven landlords. I was able to contact all of them. They all where glad to know what was actually was going on. Six of them will not be any issue for Steve in the near future. The one older fellow I think is OK now but he was really stirred up when I first called him. Like I stated in another post the only reason I got involved on the rental issue was I personally knew each and every one of the landlords. I did not want them to do something with half the correct information. Then have that cost Steve time, money, and aggravation to fighting it.
