Find a farmer or rancher to work your Texas land
Texas landowners can lower property taxes by keeping land in agricultural use. We match you with a local hay producer, rancher, beekeeper or wildlife plan writer who works your county.
How it works for landowners
- Tell us about your land. County, acreage and the uses you're open to. About two minutes.
- We find a fit. We review every submission by hand and introduce you to a producer who works your county and fits your acreage and access.
- You sign your own lease. Terms are between you and the producer. Your county appraisal district decides whether the land qualifies.
Pricing
One flat $49 listing fee, the same for every acreage and use. Your listing stays open for 24 months from payment, then expires. Nothing is due when you sign a lease. The fee is non-refundable. See the terms.
You and the other party contact each other directly. Bale My Land doesn't negotiate, set rent, draft leases, or act as a real estate broker.
