I checked with several farmers/land owners in the area who had unhunted property and got a similar answer from all. They did not want to lease. Now, all of my previousl leases had contracts holding the owner/farmer harmless in case of any accidents and spelled out who would be responsible for any damage to property. So, my question would be why would someone turn down the chance to make a nice sum of cash (tax free) for doing pretty much nothing? I mean the land is just sitting there doing nothing for the season anyway, right?
Can anyone explain to me?

I have been hunting rice fields for a long time and the farm we hunt has 4 leased blinds and ours that we hunt every year.......Now here is the deal with the 4 leased blinds......
***My waters too deep
***My Waters too low
***can you buffalo some more
***Can we hunt your blind ours dont have birds
***I think I have a hole in the levee can you check it out
***Can we shoot geese off the roads
***Is the roads dry for us to drive down we dont like to ride 4 wheelers
***can can can can....want want want.........
Then this is what you have to put up with:
Hey dont drive on the field roads when there wet....
Hey dont hook your trailer up to the 4 wheeler when the roads are wet either
Hey dont ride on top the levees
Hey Dont shoot out the truck at geese
Hey please pick up your shell hulls and boxes
