MN CropCast: Landlords and tenants - A conversation with Nathan Hulinsky about fair rental agreements

In this week's CropCast, hosts Seth and Dave sit down with University of Minnesota Agriculture Business Management Educator Nathan Hulinsky to discuss one of the largest input costs for crop farmers: land costs. Nathan provides current examples of typical cash rent and land costs in Minnesota and gives an overview of Extension Farmland Rental workshops scheduled for 2025 and 2026. These workshops cover local historic and projected farmland rental rate trends, current farmland values and sales, and include a worksheet Nathan utilizes to help participants create a fair rental agreement. Landlords, farmers, and agri-business professionals should plan to attend one of these informative meetings being held across Minnesota and online.
