Alright, so upfront, I may be overthinking things here, just a bit. However, I've been looking into potential permissions lately and hope to make a few calls this weekend, but I'm still unsure of how to handle damage liability. Would that be on me, or the farmer? If on me, do I need insurance? If yes, what kind, and what would be a monthly cost I could expect from that? If no insurance, but I am still liable for damages, what prevents the farmer from claiming that I damaged something which I did not, and making me pay for something of high value? If I'm not liable, it doesn't seem like a safe bet for the farmer, as he doesn't know me and as of yet, I have no reputation.
Additionally, how do y'all go about acquiring permissions? Are unannounced house calls wise, or a phone call to the farm and offering to show them your equipment? I've made up some fliers, which I'll be printing in higher quality and hanging in local feed stores after I get a few things straight.
Thanks in advance for any guidance, and for all the awesome posts on this forum!
