Iowa State University Extension and Outreach offers workshops designed to answer questions that land owners and tenants have about farmland leasing and land management issues.
These workshops will be held across northeast Iowa counties starting July 26 through August 16.
Melissa O’Rourke, ISU Extension Farm & Agribusiness Management Specialist will present a wide range of topics related to farmland values and leasing.
“Year after year, I receive numerous contacts from persons who have questions about farmland values and rental rates,” says O’Rourke.
“The interest in and conversations about farm leasing arrangements continues to grow, and 2022 is no different,”
O’Rourke noted. “We expect strong attendance and discussion at these meetings.”
More than half of Iowa farmland is rented. In some Iowa locations, as much as 70 percent of the land is farmed by farmers who don’t own the land.
