Abstract

Around half of Nebraska farmland is leased but there are some things you probably don’t know about leases that you probably should be aware of.

So, there some things that most folks probably don’t know about ag leases?

Yes. But I want to emphasize up front that smart tenants realize that if they push their legal rights to the limit, they probably will lose the lease in the end. That being said, landlords probably have narrower legal rights than they thought under handshake (i.e. unwritten) agricultural leases in Nebraska.
