MU Extension Offers Sessions On Farm Leases
COLUMBIA, MO.
University of Missouri Extension offers meetings on farm leases on Sept. 24 at locations across the state.
Topics include current cash rents and trends in Missouri, items to discuss and put in a lease, when and how to terminate a farm lease legally, recreational (hunting) leases, who is responsible for various costs, and livestock and crop share arrangements, says MU Extension agricultural business specialist Joe Koenen
“Farm leases are a popular topic given common current cash rent levels and volatile crop prices,” Koenen says. “This program helps landlords and tenants understand the terms and expectations to develop a fair agreement for both.”
MU Extension specialists who have worked with tenants and property owners teach the program using distance-learning technology so audiences can interact with instructors and other participants.
