Oral vs. Written Lease
• Leases are legal contracts – State specific– Average tenancy is 12 years– 35% of leases are written
• Agriculture is changing• Good business practices• “Trust” issues
![Page 11: leasing presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020307/559ebe671a28ab832a8b4809/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Written Leases
• Increase in absentee landowners• Be proactive, not reactive• FSA requirements
– Crop-share vs. cash rent– Risk in growing crop
• Tax issues– Material participation

Cash Lease - advantages
• Simple• Owner doesn’t have day to day decisions• Owner has very little financial risk• Tenant has freedom in choosing what to plant
and rotation• Tenant has fewer records to keep
![Page 19: leasing presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020307/559ebe671a28ab832a8b4809/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cash Lease - disadvantages
• May need to be renegotiated each yr• Cash rents may be too low in times of rising
prices and increasing yields and too high in times of low prices and low yields
• Tenants are required to supply more operating capital
• Tenants bear all price and yield risk
![Page 20: leasing presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020307/559ebe671a28ab832a8b4809/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cash Rent
• What’s a “fair” rate?– Share of gross income
(35-40%)– Production capability– Crop-share equivalent– Percent of land value– Other expectations or
responsibilities

Crop Share - Advantages

decisions• Both parties benefit from new technology• Farm payments are shared
![Page 22: leasing presentation](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020307/559ebe671a28ab832a8b4809/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Crop Share - Disadvantages

determined• Cropping plan must be agreed upon• Landowner may be considered material
participant and subject to self employment tax
