Landowners and farmers can learn more about the various tools available to assist with developing a farmland lease, the impact soil may have on leases, and answers to legal questions by participating in the Purdue University Extension virtual workshop, "Digging Deeper Into Land Leases."

The workshop will cover:

  • Trends and Drivers of Farm Cash Rents and Land Values
  • Available Leasing Tools
