Leasing Arrangements
Considerations
As the new year
approaches many producers
are starting to renew or gain
new lease arrangements
with land owners and other
producers. When entering
into a leasing agreement it
is important that both the
landowner and tenant care-
fully consider what each
one is expecting from the
lease. There are five basic
questions that both the
landowner and tenant need
to answer before any agree-
ment can be completed.
What portion of the
income am I entitled to
receive? This question is
needed to determine the
type of lease agreement.
Will it simply be a lump
sum payment to the land-
owner based on the number
of acres available or will the
payment be based on the
performance of animals or
crops raised on this prop-
erty? One example of a
performance based lease
agreement is a pasture lease
where the payment is based
on the weight gain of the
calves during the lease
period.
What portion of the costs
do I contribute? This
question determines who
is responsible for expenses
incurred during the lease.
Such costs could include
fertilizer, pesticides, fence
and building repairs and
machinery costs.
What portion of the risk
do I bear? This question is
similar to question one, if a
landowner receives a lump
sum payment at the begin-
ning of the lease period then
that landowner has no risk
involved in the production
of that property. But if the
payment amount is directly
related to the production
value of the crop or animal
enterprise, then the land-
owner shares some of the
risk with the tenant.
What crop and man-
agement practices will be
followed? This question
determines just when, how,
and what will be done
tion of the land at the end
of lease? This question
addresses the expectations
of the landowner at the end
of lease.
Answering these five
questions will help both the
landowner and tenant deter-
