Landlord/Tenant Cash Lease Workshop for Farm-Leasing Relations

 

The Landlord/Tenant Cash Lease workshop offered Tuesday, November 19th will help landlords and tenants put together a lease that is right for them and help maintain positive farm leasing relations.

The workshop will be at Cass County Extension Office, 8400 144th Street, Weeping Water, starting at 1:30 p.m and concluding about 4:30 p.m.

Topics for discussion include:

-- Latest information about land values and cash rental rates for the area and state;

- Expectations from the lease, including goal setting for the rental property;

- Lease termination, including terminating handshake or verbal leases;

-- Lease communication, determining appropriate information sharing for both the tenant and landlord;

-- Alternative cash lease arrangements, flexible provision considerations for your situation; and

-- Other topics, like irrigation systems, hay rent, pasture rental agreements, and grain bin rental will be covered as time allows.

UNL Extension educators Allan Vyhnalek and Monte Vandeveer, will present on these topics and provide common sense tips during the presentation. It is very helpful if both the tenant and landlord can attend together.

This free workshop is sponsored by the Nebraska Soybean Board and the North Central Risk Management Agency. Refreshments and handouts are provided. Participation is limited. Registrations are requested by November 18th to insure adequate supplies for the participants. To register, contact the Cass County Extension Office at 402-267-2205.
