E. G. Stoneberg and, Kelvin Leibold (July, 2021)

Summary

Over one-half of Iowa’s farmland is rented and operated by someone other than the owner. In parts of central, north central, and northwest Iowa, two-thirds of the land is tenant operated. This publication addresses advantages and disadvantages in leasing, types of leases and what should be spelled-out in these business arrangements to avoid potential conflicts down the road.
