Improving Your Farm Lease ContractA guide to understanding the business of farmland leasesImportance of LeasingMore than half of Iowa’s farmland is rented to tenant operators. The trend over the past several decades has been for more of Iowa’s farmland to be leased rather than operated by its owners. In many cases, retired farmers or their heirs wish to continue to own farms, but do not want to operate them. Leasing farmland involves a business agreement between the owner and the operator. Reasons for Farm LeasesLand is an expensive resource. A large capital investment is required to purchase enough land to provide the farm family an opportunity to earn a satisfactory living. Many individuals or institutions that own land are looking for someone to farm it to provide a return on their investment as well as maintain its productivity. Common Types of LeasesThe four most common types of leases used in Iowa are the fixed cash lease, the flexible cash lease, the crop share lease, and the custom farming contract. The common terms of these leases are described below.Fixed Cash LeaseUnder a fixed cash lease the tenant pays a given amount of cash rent per acre per year for the use of the farm resources. The tenant has a free rein in planning the crop and livestock production program on the farm unit, and receives all the crop and any associated USDA commodity program payments.Flexible Cash LeaseA variation of the fixed cash lease is a flexible lease, in which the actual rent to be paid depends on the actual yields attained and/or the selling prices available during the lease period. This ensures that the rent paid is in line with the profitability of the crops grown that year..Crop Share LeaseThe distinguishing characteristic of a crop share lease is that the owner receives a share of the crop and USDA payments as a return for the land resources used. The owner normally furnishes land and buildings and pays half of the costs of inputs such as fertilizer, seed, and pesticides when the crop is divided 50-50. Owners are usually responsible for drying, storing, and marketing their share of the crop, as well. The tenant usually furnishes all the labor, fuel, equipment, and the other half of the shared expenses. Custom Farming ContractUnder a custom farming contract the operator supplies all the labor and equipment needed to perform tillage, planting, pest control, harvesting and moving of crops to storage. The landowner pays all other expenses, and receives all the crop and any USDA payments. The custom operator receives a fixed payment per acre from the owner, or a fixed payment for each operation performed.Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Types of LeasesAll types of leases have advantages and disadvantages to each party. The tenant and owner should consider this before choosing the type of lease and the terms that should be incorporated in it.Fixed Cash LeaseAdvantages of a fixed cash lease:The lease is simple with relatively few chances for misunderstanding.The owner is relieved of making day-to-day operating decisions.The owner has very little financial risk.The tenant has maximum freedom in planning and developing the cropping and livestock programs.The tenant has fewer records to keep when multiple landlords are involved.Disadvantages and potential problems of the fixed cash lease:A fair cash rental rate may have to be renegotiated each year.Cash rents are likely to be too low in times of rising prices and increasing yields, and too high in times of low prices or low yields.Selling prices and production costs may be higher or lower than anticipated when the rental rate is set.Tenants are required to supply more operating capital.Tenants bear all the risk of production shortfalls.Flexible Cash LeaseAdvantages of a flexible cash lease:The amount of rent to pay increases or decreases automatically from year-to-year as prices and yields change.The need for the owner and tenant to renegotiate the rental rate each year is significantly reduced.Disadvantages and potential problems of the flexible cash lease:Both parties must agree on a formula for setting the cash rent each year or every few years.Both parties must agree on how to determine the prices and yields to include in the formula.There is uncertainty about how much the tenant will pay and the owner will receive each year.Crop Share LeaseAdvantages of a crop share lease:Risks associated with price and yield variations are shared.The owner is more involved in making decisions and marketing the grain during the year.Both parties share the benefits from adoption of yield-increasing technology, or unexpected high yields or prices.The owner receives more information about yields and inputs used each year.A second USDA payment limit is created.Disadvantages or potential problem areas of a crop share lease:The landlord and tenant must agree on how production expenses will be shared.Adjustments for sharing costs for storage and drying facilities, herbicides that reduce field work, or fertilizer and pesticide application may have to be made.The cropping plan to be followed and whether or not the farm participates in government programs must be agreed on.Added cash rent for the use of buildings and storage facilities may have to be negotiated.If the owner’s and tenant’s grain is stored in the same bin, marketing decisions have to be made jointly.The landowner may be considered a material participant, and farm income may be subject to self-employment taxation.Custom Farming ContractAdvantages of a custom farming contract:There is very little financial risk for the operator.The owner benefits from any unexpected high prices, yields or government program payments.Only one party is responsible for marketing grain and making production decisions.Agreements are usually fairly simple to negotiate.Disadvantages and potential problems of custom farming contracts:The owner bears all the risk of low yields or prices, or high input costs.The number and timing of field operations to be done each year may have to be modified, depending on weather conditions.The operator has to set priorities among the custom farmed land and other rented or owned land.The owner must communicate to the custom operator the cropping system, fertility program, and type of pest control to be used.Crop inputs such as seed, fertilizer and pesticides must be purchased and delivered in a timely manner.The landowner may be considered a material participant, and farm income could be subject to self-employment taxation.Financing ImprovementsThere are three ways to handle the costs of making permanent improvements to a farm property such as buildings, storage structures, conservation structures, fences, waterways, and drainage tile.The landlord provides the improvement as part of the rental agreement with an understanding that the rental rate will be increased as a result.The cost of the improvements is shared by the landlord and tenant in some form. If the improvement is constructed on the farm, the tenant may furnish labor and machinery for the job, and the owner may pay for materials. It is useful to negotiate a provision in the lease for the tenant to be reimbursed by the landlord for the undepreciated value of the improvements if the lease period ends before the useful life of the improvement is over.The entire cost of the improvements is paid by the tenant. As in Option 2, a provision for reimbursing the tenant for the undepreciated value of the investment is important.Setting the Length of LeaseMany farm leases are in effect for only one year at a time. In fact, in Iowa oral leases cannot be valid for more than one year. However, an Iowa State University survey showed that 41% of cash rent leases and 68% of crop share agreements had been in effect between the same parties for more than 10 years. The maximum fixed term for a lease contract in Iowa is 20 years, but leases can be routinely renewed if both parties agree.Multi-year leases provide owners and operators with an incentive to invest in long-term improvements to the land and maintain soil fertility and conservation structures. They also avoid the uncertainty of building new relationships frequently. Termination of a Farm LeaseA farm lease automatically continues from year to year unless either party gives a written notice of termination separate from the lease. In Iowa, a lease termination notice must be properly served in writing by September 1, prior to the end of the lease year. This applies to both cash and crop share leases, but not to custom farming agreements. SummaryA good lease is the first step toward a satisfactory operating relationship between a landlord and a tenant. Although it is difficult to develop a lease that will provide for all possible situations, the parties should try to anticipate areas where problems could arise and include provisions in the lease to handle them. Only the parties involved can determine what is fair to each and what the final agreement should be. Many factors influence a leasing agreement, and each contract should be modified to fit the individual situation.  Want Farm4Profit Merch?  Custom order your favorite items today!https://farmfocused.com/farm-4profit/ Don’t forget to like the podcast on all platforms and leave a review where ever you listen! Website: www.Farm4Profit.comShareable episode link: https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.comEmail address: Farm4profitllc@gmail.comCall/Text: 515.207.9640Subscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSR8c1BrCjNDDI_Acku5XqwFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farm4profitllc Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Farm4ProfitLLC/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The AHLA is the trade association for the hunting lease industry and advocates for recreational access to private land all over.  He also worked in Indiana as an agent for Base Camp Leasing helping hunters secure access to private farms.  Sean hunts/fishes in multiple states every year on both private and public ground and regularly advises landowners on methods to improve the land ownership experience and hopefully add some revenue at the same time.             Prior to leading the AHLA, he was a career Indianapolis firefighter for 26 years. Sean and his wife live in Indianapolis and spend as much time as possible outside hiking, camping and traveling. Who is Base Camp Leasing?Base Camp Leasing was founded by Steve Meng, an accomplished whitetail deer hunter and former grain industry professional. Steve took his passion for hunting and turned it into a career. Personally experiencing discouragement in the lack of accessibility to private hunting property, Steve was motivated to develop a mutually beneficial business model to serve both landowners and hunters alike. Established in 1999, Base Camp Leasing has led the way in the hunting lease industry and continues to expand to new states every year.Whether you are a landowner looking into leasing your hunting property, or a hunter looking to lease a property, our administrative staff is here to help you. We understand the need to be able to pick up the phone and call someone to ask questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our knowledgeable team members.Many landowners are realizing the value of leasing hunting rights to their land for an additional income stream and property security.  This exclusive access has tremendous value, but does require some effort on the landowners part as well as some added responsibility.  All which can be accounted for with a simple liability policy.There are resources for hunters and landowners that they need to safely and successfully gain/grant access to private land.  Liability programs for private Hunt Clubs Guides and Outfitters and Landowners of vacant land make it possible for hunters and others to enjoy not just the great sport of hunting, but all other types of recreational activities as well. All this while providing landowners with security, confidence and peace of mind.Even though hunting is one of the safest activities Americans take part in, there are invariably accidents that occur. Some of the events hunters may need protection from:  Liability from the use of atv’s and tree stands, fire damage liability (in case of an accidental fire that damages property), medical expenses for unexpected injuries (stepping into an unmarked well or hole)Vacant or undeveloped land may leave you open to unnecessary risks and liability.  It doesn’t matter if the guest was invited or a trespasser.  If someone gets injured on your property and they pursue legal action, you could be forced to pay legal fees and medical bills.Benefits to leasing out your land – Reduce crop damage, reduce trespassing and poaching, avoid confrontation with family and friends on who gets to hunt your property. Where does base camp operate mostly? Can any land owner participate or are there requirements? What does a typical hunting lease look like? When does the lease start? How is the price determined on a property? Do I get to meet the hunters on my property? Is there any out-of-pocket cost to the landowner? Who is responsible for posting the property available for lease? Can I still access my property after it is leased? Can the hunters bring guests on my property? How do I terminate a lease with Base Camp Leasing? Do hunters have to bid on the lease for next year?Al Zeitz - Manager of Renewable Energy Services at Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative Al has a career of experience working in the wind and solar industry, let’s have us tell us about the various positions he has held. WindHow do land owners make money from wind turbines?Do most land owners not own the turbines?Can a land owner have their own turbine and sell power back?How are leases usually structured with the land owner?Are land owners forced in to having a wind turbine on the property?If someone wanted a wind turbine on their property are there ways to go about getting signed up?Can a land owner get out of a lease?What happens to the turbine if the land owner wants out?Are the leases transferable with the sale of the land?What is the useful life of a turbine? SolarHow do land owners make money from solar farms or solar panels?Do most land owners not own their own panels?How are leases usually structured with the land owner?If someone wanted to start a solar farm on their property how should they go about getting signed up?Can a land owner get out of a lease?What happens if the land owner wants out?Are the leases transferable with the sale of the land?What is the useful life of solar panels?

Settings from ultracourse to extremely fine so operators can dial in application to nozzles ideal range.​     Inconsistent droplet size = coverage issuesWithout nozzle-by-nozzle technology, achieving consistent coverage across the entire field is difficult. RightSpot monitors and maintains the right droplet size prescribed for the product, ensuring the right amount of product applied to do its job effectively while reducing risk of drift to neighboring crops. RightSpot uses blended pulse technology to achieve consistent coverage and reduced skips. Pulsing nozzles maintain a precise user-defined boom pressure allowing the operator to achieve a consistent rate and droplet size at a wider variety of speeds and across difficult terrain.Proper Rate in all Scenarios​​Pressure gauge right on the run screen paired with the pressure fallback features, allowing it to spray more accurately in low flow rate scenarios.

Regardless, of the field applying at just one speed doesn’t feel quite right. There may be some challenging areas where you feel more comfortable slowing down. In open areas you may want to cover more ground faster.RightSpotRightSpot makes operating the sprayer less stressful. Flow rate and pressure are controlled independently, enabling you to apply at a comfortable speed for your field conditions while maintaining desired rate and droplet size consistently. It gives you the power to get the job done more efficiently and effectively – speed up in open areas or slow down when difficult terrain calls for it. Can right spot be added to my current sprayer? If we can’t afford new what are some things we should be paying attention to on our current sprayers to minimize down time? Anything else you’d like to share? What do you know now that you wish you would have known sooner? SummaryChallenge Want Farm4Profit Merch?  Custom order your favorite items today!https://farmfocused.com/farm-4profit/ Don’t forget to like the podcast on all platforms and leave a review where ever you listen! Website: www.Farm4Profit.comShareable episode link: https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.comEmail address: Farm4profitllc@gmail.comCall/Text: 515.207.9640Subscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSR8c1BrCjNDDI_Acku5XqwFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farm4profitllc Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Farm4ProfitLLC/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
