Flex Leases with Ruth Rabinowitz and Mike Downey
Listening and Learning Session: Flex Leases
For years tenant farmers and landowners have relied on a conversation and a handshake to determine rental rates each year.
Fluctuating market prices, fertilizer shortages and a dependence on world events means the price of corn and soybeans may fluctuate wildly year-to-year. Many farmers and landowners are turning to creative leasing solutions that can benefit the farmer and the landowner.
Learn more about flex leasing and some specific ways you can determine your rate. We’ll hear from farm managers, landowners, and tenants on the pros and cons of this type of lease.
