Digging deeper into land leases
Many times, lease agreements must be negotiated in order to meet the needs and expectations for both landlords and tenants. The Purdue Land Lease Team has developed a program that address many questions concerning land leases.
Landowners and farmers can learn more about the various tools available to assist with developing a farmland lease, the impact soil may have on leases and answers to legal questions by participating in the Purdue University Extension virtual workshop Digging Deeper Into Land Leases.

The workshop will cover:
• Trends and drivers of farm cash rents and land values;
• Available leasing tools;
• Tips for reading a web soil survey;
• Ways to incorporate soil health into a lease;
• Legal aspects of leases.
The registration fee for this workshop is $25. Individuals wanting to participate in this virtual workshop can sign up at https://cvent.me/gmRR08. The Purdue Land Lease Team will send an e-mail to the e-mail address you provide with the link to connect from your home computer, tablet or smartphone.
