Leasing, Custom Rates, and Cash Rents
This is one time of year when questions start coming in about leasing, custom rates, and cash rents. The Extension office is often a source that land owners and producers check. However, we really do not have a crystal ball to look in nor do we actually have the entire scoop on what all of the going rates are. But here is what we do have up our sleeve to get you started if you are trying to make sense of some arrangements. Some numbers here will make sense and some will make you scratch your head, as each production arrangement is different. There are many ways to arrive at a rental agreement and these are only one way down that path.
