Northwest Iowa — A lot of farmland in Iowa is leased, so a good farm lease is important — that from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
Gary Wright, extension farm management specialist says the annual Farm Lease meetings are coming up. He says the meetings are intended for current and prospective tenants and landlords, and will cover fair cash rents and much more.
Wright says landlords and tenants can also learn on some other topics.
He says the meetings are 3 hours in length and all registrants will receive a leasing reference manual. There is a $20 per individual registration fee for all individuals who pre-register at least 2 days prior to the meeting. Any late registrants will face an additional $5 fee.
