Farmland rental workshops

Wondering what is acceptable to charge or pay for land rent in Minnesota? Determining a fair, profitable farm rental agreement can be a challenge in today’s economy.

Extension farmland rental workshops help farmers, landlords and ag professionals determine a fair farmland rental rate for all parties. Presenters review historical rental rates throughout Minnesota and use data-driven decisions to help determine a fair value for land. Extension hosts free in-person workshops across the state as well as online webinars.

Workshops cover local historic and projected farmland rental rate trends and current farmland values and sales. We also walk through a worksheet to help participants create a fair rental agreement.
