Extension Ag Land Management, Leasing Workshops to Cover Leasing Practices, Succession

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Agricultural Profitability will present a 2024 landlord/tenant cash rent workshop at seven locations in central and eastern Nebraska between Aug. 20 and Sept. 4.

The workshop will cover current Nebraska cash rental rates and land values, best practices for agricultural leases, and other contract considerations. The meeting will also include financial considerations for farm succession and transition and offer an opportunity for those in attendance to have their leasing questions answered.

Agricultural economists Anastasia Meyer and Jim Jansen will lead the presentation. Both are with the Center for Agricultural Profitability.

The meetings are free to attend and will include refreshments or a meal. Registration is required. 

More information about cash rental rates, leasing and farm and ranch transition can be found on the Center for Agricultural Profitability’s website.
