Farm Lease Terms

Farm / Property Legal Description *

Use the legal land description from the deed or county property records, not a common name. This prevents ambiguity about which parcels are leased.

Total Acreage *

The total number of farmable acres covered by this lease. Distinguish between tillable and non-tillable acreage if rent rates differ.

Lease Type Cash Rent (fixed dollar amount per acre) Crop Share (percentage of crop proceeds) Flexible Cash Rent (adjusts with crop prices) Custom Farm Arrangement

Cash rent provides income certainty for the landowner. Crop share aligns both parties' interests with production outcomes but is more complex to administer.

Annual Cash Rent ($/acre)

Farmland cash rents average $150–$300+/acre for prime Midwest cropland. Rates vary greatly by soil quality, water access, and location.

Lease Start Date *

Farm leases typically run calendar or crop year (March 1 – Feb 28). In most Midwest states, automatic renewal requires 9-month advance notice to terminate.

Lease End Date

Many farm leases are 1-year with automatic renewal. Multi-year terms provide stability but limit flexibility to adjust rent to market rates.

Approved Crops / Land Use

Specifying allowed crops protects soil health and landowner liability. Some landowners restrict GMO crops, certain chemicals, or require organic practices.
