Can the public recreate or hunt on state land that has been leased for agriculture?

I believe so, most of the ag leases are small crops like corn, alfalfa, most stuff that is harvested before any bird season starts. Corn I think is the only one and I believe they harvest early October. Just be mindful of the crops. Farmers are the ones that feed us all

Depends on the type of lease and how it was written.  In some cases the answer is no.

I've been wondering about this also, and so, the question I have is how to find out if leased land is accessible, and under what conditions? Does it vary by county, or is there a statewide reference source? Are the properties posted with restrictions? Basically, I'm trying to do my homework on these properties, but not sure where I should be looking.
Anyone have any tips?

The Department of Natural Resources is who you would want to call, preferably a regional office. For Southeast Wa. that would be the Ellensburg office. Or in the Northeast you'd want to call the Colville office.

In most cases those lands will be open to hunting. If they're not, it should be posted.
