How Much Rent Should I Get For My Farm?
New Sites Added To Sept. 20 MU Extension Farm Lease Workshop.
UNIONVILLE, MO.
University of Missouri Extension agriculture business specialists discuss issues such as when a tenant should pay part of the rent, how and when to terminate a lease and how much rent is fair at the Missouri Farm Leases program on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
Two new locations have been added since the original announcement.
The program runs 6-9 p.m. at the following sites:

“Farm leases are a very hot topic right now with cash rents at their current level and crop and livestock prices dropping, so landlords and tenants need to make certain they’re getting what they believe they should be,” says workshop presenter Joe Koenen, MU Extension agricultural business specialist.
“There are many issues that both farm landlords and tenants need to be aware of. This program is designed to address these issues,” says Koenen.
Workshop topics include:
• Current cash rents and trends in Missouri.
• Items to discuss and agree on in a lease.
• When and how to legally terminate a farm lease.
• Recreational (hunting) leases.
• Fair livestock and crop share arrangements.
Koenen and other MU Extension specialists presenting the program have worked on farm leases with landlords and tenants for many years. They present the program through Skype. Participants can see and interact with instructors and participants at other sites.
The program costs $25 per person, or $35 per couple or two or more from the same operation. Fee includes one set of materials and refreshments. Preregister by Sept. 16.
