Putting Flexibility in Cash Rent Agreements
• Crop-share leases were the original flexible rents– The scale of today’s operation makes
share rents impractical• Cash rents may be adjusted by market
prices, crop yields and production costs

Advantages of Flexible Cash Rents
• Landowner shares in additional income from:– Price increase– Yield increase
• Reduced risk for operator when:– Prices drop– Yields are reduced

Disadvantages of Flexible Cash Rents
• Increased risk for landowner• Landowner may be concerned about
accuracy of reported yields• Higher rent due to increased yields
means the operator may be giving up some of the benefit from managerial input
• Calculating the rent requires more management and communication

Methods of Flexing Cash Rent
Flexing for Crop Price Only• Increases risk substantially for operators
Example 1• Base rent multiplied by ratio of current years
price to base price.Base rent x (current years price ÷ base price) = current years rent$60 x ($12.00 ÷ $10.00) = $72
![Page 8: Fixed and Flexible Cash Rental Arrangements](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568167da550346895ddd3647/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Flexing for Crop Price Only
Example 2.• Rent equal to the value of a fixed amount
of commodity.“The amount of cash rent is equal to the value 8 bushels of soybeans based on the average daily closing price for the month of November.”
8 bushels x $12.00 = $96.00

Flexing for Crop Price Only
Example 3• Base rent with stated adjustments for prices
outside a specified range.
Owner and operator agree on a rent of $60 per acre if the current price of soybeans is between $9.00 and $10.00 per bushel. For each $0.50 change in price above or below this range the rent will increase or decrease by $5.00 per acre.

Flexing for Crop Price Only
Example 4• Minimum base rent with upward
adjustments.
Owner and operator agree to a base rent of $50.00 per acre if the soybean price is $9 per bushel or less. For each $0.50 per bushel increase the rent will increase $5.00 per acre.

Flexing for Yield Only
Example 1• Base rent is multiplied by a ratio of the
current yield divided by a base yield to calculate current rent
$60 x (35 bu ÷ 40 bu) = $52.50
![Page 12: Fixed and Flexible Cash Rental Arrangements](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568167da550346895ddd3647/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Flexing for Yield Only
Example 2• Actual yield is multiplied by a fixed value
per bushel decided in advance.
Rent equals actual yield times $2.00 per bushel for wheat.
35 bu yield x $2.00 = $70 per acre
![Page 13: Fixed and Flexible Cash Rental Arrangements](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568167da550346895ddd3647/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Flexing for Price and Yield
Example 1• Operator and landowner agree to a base
cash rent tied to a base yield and a base price.
Base rent x (current yield ÷ base yield) x (current price ÷ base price)$60 x (45 bu ÷ 40 bu) x ($6.50 ÷ $7.00) = $62.68
![Page 14: Fixed and Flexible Cash Rental Arrangements](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568167da550346895ddd3647/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Flexing for Price and Yield
Example 2• Rent equals an agreed upon
percentage of crop value
42 bu x $6.50 x 25% = $68.25
![Page 15: Fixed and Flexible Cash Rental Arrangements](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568167da550346895ddd3647/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15AgLease101.org© North Central Farm Management Extension Committee
Flexing for Price and Yield
Example 3• Minimum base rent plus a bonus
Rent equals $60 plus 30% of total revenue per acre above $225.00 per acre
40 bu x $7.00 = $280Rent = $60 plus 30% x (280-225)
= $76.50

Flexing Rent on Price, Yield and Input Costs
• Price and yield are both important. However, it is the margin over direct costs that pays rent.
• Price volatility for input costs is increasing.
• Including the cost of seed, fertilizer, pesticides and diesel, and drying fuel will further protect the margin for the operator.

Flexing Rent on Price, Yield and Input Costs
Example• Base rent is multiplied by a factor for
price, yield and input costs.
$60 x (current price ÷ base price) x (current yield ÷ base yield) x (base input costs ÷current input costs) = current rent
![Page 18: Fixed and Flexible Cash Rental Arrangements](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568167da550346895ddd3647/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Flexing Rent on Price, Yield and Input Costs
Example (Soybeans)
Base Current$10.00 price $11.0030 bu yield 28 bu$94 input costs $100$60 rent ?
$60 = ($11.00 ÷ $10) x (28 ÷ 30) x ($94 ÷ $100) = $57.90
