Free and Easy Tool for Farmers

100%

Balance of Ease of Use and Flexibility

Challenge

Needed ease of use and flexibility generating contracts for farmers to protect land access.

Paper forms couldn't address all of the legal needs of farmers across the country.

Solutions needed to be interactive to deal with various farming complexities.

Result

UX allows farmers to generate good leases, lowering legal costs.

Specific addenda can be added to account for regional differences in water, grazing, or solar.

The tool allows lease provisions to ensure sustainable practices on the land.
