<p class="MsoNormal">While reasonable minds can differ, I don't believe in such a thing as "the right insurance". Call me cynical but it isn't unheard of that an insurance company will refuse coverage if they can find anyway to not pay. I have been hearing
about this firsthand with the Grey fire here. I always recommend an LLC for rental property of any type, but farms, in particular. I also consider whose using whose equipment because and what other property may exist on farmland (for example a residence
or two) to determine if more than one LLC makes sense, or if what gets put into the single LLC needs to have excluded property that most folks consider farm property.<br>

Subject: [WSBAPT] Farms and LLCs<br>
<br>
I am wondering if someone is renting out a farm to someone else to farm, if it's a matter of course or very advised that they put what they own in an LLC for liability protection. Or, if it's more common for the landowner not to use an LLC and instead to make
sure they have the right insurance in place. Also, if someone responds that I should refer or consult given the situation I am mentioning, I will of course want to hear that!
<br>
<br>
Sincerely, <br>
<br>
Jacob<br>
