When they land surely it must always be on some farmers (or anyone's for that matter) land. In this day and age how do they get away with landing on private property??
I would be interested to know the "protocol" behind this, too! Had a large commercial basket, CPL(B) and 12 pax pitch up on my stubble field on Sat eve. Nearest field to the house!
I walked down, mentioning to the current Mrs Stik that I am sure I'd read that a bottle of bubbly was the generally accepted landing offering. Nothing was mentioned. Five minutes later, 2 support vehicles - minibus for the SLF and a Landi w/ trailer for the balloon raced up my drive. The drive is 1/2 a mile long and quite clearly marked Private.
No big deal as we are both very air-minded but would be good to know what constitutes the norm!
