Father and Son Lease Milk Payments for Farm Purchase
Ray and Francis Platt of Ingham County near Mason devise a novel farm purchase where Francis buys his father's share with milk payments rather than cash. Payments total 2500 pounds of milk monthly, tying the deal to milk prices and herd productivity. The 284 acre farm plus 200 rented acres hosts a Registered Holstein herd averaging over 400 pounds butterfat per cow in recent DHIA reports. Best year 419 pounds butterfat.
