ISU Extensioin Farmland Lease meetings

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is set to host Farmland Leasing Meetings across six locations in Northwest Iowa in early August. These workshops aim to provide valuable information to agriculture property owners, tenants, ag business representatives, and lenders.

Each session will cover topics such as farmland ownership and tenure, cash rental rates and land values, improving leasing arrangements, determining fair rent, Iowa law for terminating leases, and the legal aspects of farmland leasing.

Attendees will receive updates on agriculture markets and new Iowa agriculture laws, along with resources from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

The upcoming workshop schedule includes:
Aug. 5, 1 p.m. – ISU Extension and Outreach Plymouth County Office, Le Mars; Register at 712-546-7835.
Aug. 14, 4 p.m. – ISU Extension and Outreach Monona County Office, Onawa; Register at 712-423-2175.

Each meeting will last approximately 2 ½ hours. Registrants will receive a leasing arrangement book and access to research-based resources from ISU Extension and Outreach. The depth of topics covered will vary to meet participants’ needs, but attending one meeting is sufficient.

A registration fee of $20 per individual or $30 per couple applies for those who register at least two days prior to the workshop date. Late registrations incur an additional $5 fee.
