Types of Agricultural Land Leases

​List your agricultural land for lease for free on LandApp. If you're interested in a specific type of lease, specify that in your LandApp listing description.
 

  • Crop share leases

  • Cash rent leases

  • Livestock grazing/ pastureland leases

  • Flexible/ hybrid leases

Crop Share Leases

In a crop share lease, both the landowner and the tenant split the expenses and the income generated from the farming operation. The landowner typically receives a share of the crops or livestock produced.

01

02

Cash Rent Farmland Leases

Under a cash rent lease, the lessee pays a fixed rental amount to the landowner and assumes full responsibility for all operational farming costs.

03

Grazing and Pastureland Leases

Common in ranching, grazing leases allow livestock grazing on designated land. Rent is paid by the lessee, and terms may be set according to acreage or the number of animal units.

04

Flexible/ Hybrid Farmland Leases

As the name implies, a hybrid lease combines elements of a cash rent lease and a crop share lease to allow for adjustments in rent payments based on crop prices and yields.

Boy howdy,  I am sure glad I threw that parcel up on LandApp!  I got a solar lease offer that is about 80% higher than what the other guys were offering, and I don't think we are done! Seriously, I'm pretty sure you guys just made my children a few 10 million bucks over the next 40 years."

“You offer such a great service! Especially for people who have no clue as to what values might be for these energy-related opportunities. The website and listing service are really nice. We have a LOT of wind and solar projects going in around our area in NW Ohio and I am going to definitely recommend LandApp to others who have acreage available and are considering leasing to a wind or solar company.”

Jill Christopher
Ohio Property Owner

“There is so much great data on LandApp! This information is so important for landowners to make educated decisions when selling or leasing their property. We are also able to advertise listings to a different type of buyer than we would normally see in the local MLS's.”

Our son was able to list one of our Fulton County, IL properties on LandApp. We very quickly received interest in the property for a solar project from a reputable company. After some due diligence and discussions we were able to execute a solar lease. Without LandApp this process would not have been so easy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • An agricultural land lease is a formal business agreement between a tenant farmer and the landowner. It provides the basis for combining the landlord’s and the tenant’s resources of land, labor, capital, and management to efficiently produce farm commodities. It gives the use of the land to a lessee for a specific period of time, for specific uses, at a specified rate. A lease does not transfer title of ownership.

  • 1) Cash rent leases: In a cash rent lease, the tenant pays a fixed amount to the landowner for farming the land throughout the year

    2) Crop share leases: In a crop share lease, the tenant pays the landowner a negotiable percentage of the crop value at the end of the season

    3) Hybrid leases: As the name implies, a hybrid farmland lease combines elements of a cash rent lease and a crop share lease. In this type of lease, the tenant may pay a fixed cash rent amount (typically a lower amount than in a cash rental agreement) along with a percentage of the crop proceeds, or they may pay a cash bonus if the gross value of the crop exceeds a predetermined amount.

  • You can also lease farmland for renewable energy or carbon credits. You can list your land for lease for energy development and carbon credits for free on LandApp's marketplace!

  • LandApp earns revenues through our subscription-based toolkit, which is engineered for energy developers to plan and manage their projects. Energy companies also use LandGate to view landowner listings and evaluate parcels of interest.

  • You can find farmland to lease on LandApp's marketplace. View listings on desktop or on our free mobile app! Select 'Filter Listings' in LandApp's listings module, then select the 'Land for Ag/ Rec' filter to find farmland to lease.

  • Farmland lease rates are dependent on region. In terms of rental value, the most expensive cropland lease rates are found in Arizona ($347 per acre), California ($344 per acre), and Hawaii ($295 per acre). These higher rates are largely driven by high-value orchard and specialty crops, which are often supported by water rights that increase the overall value of the lease.

  • Choosing the right crops for your farmland requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure long-term productivity and profitability. Start by evaluating your land's soil types and property features, then analyze market demand for specific crops in your area. You can also learn from your neighbors- seeing what kind of crops are being grown near you can help you determine which crops to grow on your land.
