Today, I am back harping on my favorite issue, agricultural land leases. A farmer recently told my colleague in another Western state that “this country would be a lot better off if more leases were handshake deals in the middle of a field.” Many of you may feel this way, but as I keep pointing out, handshake deals in the middle of the field do not always answer all the questions. One of those questions may be: Does the tenant have a right to crop residue when the lease is terminated? Earlier, Sarah Everhart had a good post here on soil fertility that I also encourage you to read on this topic, available here [1].
