Why Lease Farm Equipment and Buildings?

Do you need to acquire a piece of agricultural equipment or a farm building to replace one that has worn out or to expand your operations? Leasing may be a great option for you. No matter what you are producing, there are a variety of agricultural buildings and equipment you need to be successful:

  • Livestock housing specific to the type of animal: hogs, dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, and poultry.
  • Other types of storage structures: grain silos, refrigerated milk vats, feed storage barns, hay barns, wine tanks, crushes for shearing or milking, and equipment sheds.
  • Larger scale farm technology that supports the process of production: tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers, irrigators, planters – and more.
  • Solar panels and other large energy-saving devices.
