Iowa State University Greene County Extension and Outreach staff will host a farmland leasing meeting Friday, July 21, at 9 am, with doors open at 8:30, at the Extension office in Jefferson. The meeting will last approximately 2-1/2 hours and will be facilitated by Alexis Stevens, farm and agriculture business management specialists with ISU Extension and Outreach.
The discussion will focus on various methods to determine a fair 2023 cash rental rate and the importance of good tenant/landlord communications. Emphasis will be placed on recent returns to Iowa Cash Rented Land and the 2023 Iowa Cash Rental Rate Survey.
Pre-registration is required by July 19; the registration fee of $20 per person or $30 per couple can be paid at the door. Participants will receive a 100-page booklet and meeting handouts designed to assist landowners, tenants, and other agri-business professionals with issues related to farmland ownership, management, and leasing arrangements.
Persons who want more information or to pre-register can contact the Greene County Extension office at 515-386-2138.
