Owner does not need to make day to
day decisions
Owner has limited risk
Tenant has more freedom in planning
Tenant has fewer records to keep
How Much Rent to Pay? Or Charge?
Based
on survey results
Based on expected yields
Based on CSR
Based on % of gross income
Based on return on investment
Based on crop share equivalent
Based on tenant’s residual

A. Share of Gross Income
CORN:
(179 bu X $3.75) + $25 = $696
SOYBEANS: (54 bu X $8.60) + $25 = $489
Iowa cash rents typically are equal to about 30 to 40 percent of the gross
income from producing corn, and 40 to 45 percent of the gross income
from producing soybeans.
Cash Rental Rate
CORN:
$ 696/ac x 30% = $ 209
SOYBEANS:
$ 489/ac x 40% = $ 196
B. Tenant Residual Method
CORN:
$ 696 - $433 = $ 264
SOYBEAN:
$ 489 - $302 = $ 187
Average:
$ 225
E. Return on Investment
Iowa County farm estimated to have a market value of $4,183 per acre.
Expected Rent: (4%) X $ / acre = $167 / acre

Flexible Cash Rent
Limited
risk for landlord
Landlord can participate in increased
prices and yields
Payment is in cash, do not need to
market crops
Do not need to renegotiate each year
Flexible Rent: Type 1
No base rent or base revenue
Rent = Actual yield x actual price x 33%
No maximum or minimum rent
Example: Actual corn yield = 185 bu/acre

Rent = 185 bu. x $3.76 x 33% = $230
Flexible Rent: Type 2
Rent
= Base rent + 50% of profit
Base rent = $150
Nonland costs of production = $302 (beans)
Total cost including base rent = $462
Actual gross = (60 bu. x $8.15) + $25 = $514
“Profit” = $514 - $462 = $52
Rent = $150 + (50% x $52) = $176
Crop Share
Crop & Price risk are shared equally
A second USDA payment limitation is
created

Custom Farming
Very
little financial risk for operator
Owner benefits from higher prices,
government programs
Only one party markets grain
Agreements are simple and straight
forward
Tax implications- self employment
Timing of operations can be
troublesome
