A lease can be tailored to fit each individual situation. The type of lease depends on your financial situation and level of risk tolerance. The most common lease types:
50/ 50 Crop Share
The owner and operator share most expenses and income 50/ 50.
Cash Rent
This type of lease provides the owner with a fixed income each year. Cash rental rates are analyzed each year for land use and quality relative to market returns. Expenses incurred by the owner are land improvements, repairs, and property taxes.
Flex Cash Rent
Flex cash rents are a variation of a cash rental agreement. This lease sets a fixed minimum return, yet offers a bonus payment to the owner when higher yields and/ or prices are received. Expenses incurred are identical to a cash rent lease.
Modified Crop Share
The owner incurs a higher level of operating expenses and receives a higher percentage of revenues. The operator receives a small crop share for providing labor and equipment only.
Custom Farming
The owner receives 100% of revenues, but incurs all expenses for crop inputs. Farm operators are paid to perform the field operations necessary for crop production.
We have developed many different types of custom leases and will tailor a lease to fit your individual situation. For more information feel free to contact us.
