A popular question I get<br />
asked several times a week is<br />
what is land cash renting for, or<br />
what is land in Marshall<br />
County worth? Both are not<br />
easy answers because primarily<br />
the rental rates and land values<br />
vary with the type, productivity<br />
of the land(s) discussed, production<br />
practices, and how<br />
much someone wants the land.<br />
When discussing cash rental<br />
rates and land values, everything<br />
is subject to negotiation.<br />
Each landlord and tenant, or<br />
land purchasing situation may<br />
have different values.<br />
Good communication<br />
between landlord and tenant is<br />
the key to having a successful<br />
lease arrangement. Both par-<br />

This shot was take from the press box about 3 hours before the 7:30 kickoff.<br />
Kansas State fans were at the doors more than two hours before the game.<br />
ties need to evaluate their contributions<br />
in a share lease<br />
arrangement, especially when<br />
considering no-till and review<br />
cash rental rates. Lately, I have<br />
worked with landlords and tenants<br />
who have not renegotiated<br />
their leases for years. In one<br />
case, when I was working with<br />
a landlord and I asked what the<br />
cash rental rate was for cropland<br />
involved in the discussion<br />
and the landlord’s cash rental<br />
rate quoted was the average<br />
cash rental rate in 1998. The<br />
rent has not been adjusted for<br />
13 years! Tenants and landlords<br />
should at least be discussing<br />
their leases every three<br />
to five years.<br />
Reviewing leases is not just<br />
for cash leases. Crop-share<br />
leases should at least be<br />
reviewed every three to five<br />

years, as well. Land values,<br />
crop market prices, and input<br />
costs have a huge impact on the<br />
share percentages in a cropshare<br />
lease. Don’t just assume<br />
50/50, 60/40, or 1/3 / 2/3<br />
arrangements will work for<br />
your situation. Your situation<br />
may be different now and fine<br />
tuning may be needed.<br />
I strongly recommend putting<br />
leases in writing.<br />
Also, landlords need to<br />
remember that if you intend to<br />
remove a tenant from an oral<br />
lease, you need to do this in<br />
writing at least 30 days before<br />
March 1. Remember that 2012<br />
is a leap year, so 30 days prior<br />
to March 1 will be February 1,<br />
2012. I highly recommend not<br />
waiting until the last minute to<br />
issue an oral lease termination<br />
notice.<br />
