A unique tool to guide cropland lease decisions has been developed by agricultural economists at Kansas State University. Farm Management Economist Gregg Ibendahl explains the advantages of using the Farm Lease Simulator.

Ibendahl says this tool allows the user to identify a fair sharing of financial risk between both parties.  Ibendahl says the simulator can generate multiple outcomes for the producer and the landlord to consider. A link to the simulator can be found in the online version of this story.
