Wayne,
Your first responsibility is to your self and your land. Make the share
cropper work to your terms. I failed to do this twice. The first time a
share cropper used a herbicide and turned a really good clover paddock to
Rye dominate, which took fifteen years to come back. The second time, an man
leasing land to finnish 1,500 Spring lambs, spray topped some good country
to avoid grass seeds and damaged more land. I think very hard without
sharing my land.

Paying for his new toy is not your responsibility and should not be done at
the detriment of your land.
