Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is hosting multiple farmland leasing meetings during July and August at various times and locations throughout the state. The annual meetings are offered to address questions that Iowa landowners, tenants, or other interested individuals have about leasing farmland. Core components of the 2023 program will be land values and cash rent trends, land ownership and tenure, methods for determining a fair rental rate, the latest legal updates that impact farm leases and land ownership, and communication between tenants and landowners. A 100-page workbook to complement the program topics includes resources regarding land leasing agreements, such as surveys, sample written lease agreements, and termination forms, along with many other publications. Washington County Extension will be holding a meeting on July 31st at 6 pm. There is a $25 fee with this Workshop. Workshops will last 2 1/2 – 3 hours and will be led by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach farm management specialists.
