The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Agricultural Profitability and Nebraska Extension presented two virtual workshops for farm and ranch landowners, landlords, and tenants who want to learn more about current trends in farm or ranch real estate, and best practices for managing or leasing land in 2025.
“Big Questions and Innovative Solutions in Land Management” covers topics related to Nebraska's land industry for farms and ranches. Those include evaluating current trends in land values and cash rents, lease provisions and legal considerations, proper communication strategies and considerations for successful land transitions. Workshop participants will also be able to find answers to common farmland leasing and land ownership questions.
