Signing up for new land ?

[Terra (Mike)]

I spoke to a farmer today about using his land ( my first ), he said he'd think about it , but he said he would want a written agreement ,
Is this a good idea, and are there any preprinted forms out there or will i have to make my own.
Any advice on content.   thanks

Or you can copy & print this:

In addition, I offer my service to you. If you or a family member have lost a valuable piece of jewelry or other significant metal object, I am happy to search and find it at no charge or cost to you. It is understood that recovery includes the digging of small holes which will be repaired as nearly as possible to original condition. This permission will remain in effect until such time that it is revoked in writing.

A written agreement is advised  by FID . Otherwise you have got no proof you're allowed on that land nor have got permission to remove items from the farms grounds.
