Farmland rental is a pivotal transaction in agriculture for many reasons. 40% of Canada's farmland is rented, so a couple years ago Kevin found himself frustrated that there was no website targeting land rental. The way it was previously done worked when the rental arrangements were neighbour to neighbour, but as there become fewer farmers, farming larger acres, they have to travel greater distances and try to rent land from strangers. We're also facing a huge demographic shift in agriculture - with most of Canada's farmers being over the age of 55. Many don't want to sell their land (nor do widows and non-farming children, so rental continues to rise).  Online and print ads were not a good solution, so we decided to create a 100% custom business to target this need. The website is https://www.rentthisland.com/
