Navigating Farmland Leases
The registration period has ended.
The meeting will focus on the basics of settling up a farmland lease agreement between a landowner and the tenant farmer. There will be a discussion of the trends in land values, cash rents and, land ownership. Other important farmland leasing topics to be covered are: how to determine a farm's productivity, the importance of landowner-tenant communications and legal aspects of a lease.
