Wondering whether your cash rent reflects current land values, or whether your lease agreement covers you if something goes wrong? A new series of workshops across Nebraska this fall and winter is built to answer those questions.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Agricultural Profitability will present a series of 2026-2027 landlord/tenant cash rent workshops for Nebraska landowners and operators, beginning in August 2026.
The workshops will cover current Nebraska cash rental rates and land values, best practices for agricultural leases, and other land management considerations. The meeting will also include discussions on managing financial and legal risk, providing attendees with an opportunity to have their land questions answered.
Extension agricultural economists Anastasia Meyer and Jim Jansen will lead the presentation. Both are with the Center for Agricultural Profitability.
A meal or snacks and refreshments will be offered at each meeting, sponsored by Peoples Company.
The meetings are free to attend, but registration is requested by the day before each workshop by calling the local Nebraska Extension office.
