Excerpt from Lease Contracts Used in Renting Farms on Shares: A Study of the Distribution of Investments, Expenses, and Income Between Landlord and Tenant In many cases the chief crop areas of the farm are rented on shares, while the tenant pays cash for the farmstead, pasture, hay land, corn land, or some other specified area. This method of leas ing is commonly called the share-cash system. Lease forms - Printed lease forms seem to be of little avail except on large estates where the whole system has been thoroughly worked out by the manager, and where a uniform set of conditions is pre scribed for all tenants on the estate. For the most part, however, printed lease forms contain only generalities. Usually it is neces sary for landlord and tenant to agree by consultation on the features of the contract and then write a lease embodying these stipulations. Very often no written contract is made, the agreement being merely verbal. A written lease is more satisfactory, however, especially in the event of some subsequent disagreement or misunderstanding.
