www.AgManager.info  2    requires taking the time to  put all the costs of  production into a budget  framework and allocate the  costs paid by each party.  Importantly, tenants need  to be compensated for  labor and owned  machinery, while  landowners need to be  compensated for the value  of their land and other  owned assets (e.g. center‐ pivot). Historically, the  proportions have been  regionally consistent with  landowners in many parts  of western and central  Kansas receiving 1/3 of the  harvest, while landowners  in Northeast Kansas can  receive as much as 50% of  the harvest. The differences  in returns to the  landowners are reflecting  the productive potential of  land in different parts of  the state, which is directly  interpreted as the $/ac  value.  The third and fourth  principles apply as much to  cash leases as crop share  leases. The third principle  is important to encourage  the tenant to treat the land  as if they own it  themselves. This may mean  making investments in the  long‐term health of the soil  or making investments to  reduce soil erosion. By  guaranteeing that their  return will be realized,  either by getting to farm  the land for the life of the  investments or being  compensated for residual  value if they no longer  farm that land, then the  tenant will be willing to  treat the land as if they  have an ownership stake in  it.    The fourth principle is the  basis for all good leases:  good communication  between the landowner  and the tenant. By keeping  both parties informed of  changes in market  conditions, production  practices, future plans  (selling land, passing it to  heirs), etc., the opportunity  for conflict is greatly  reduced. Leasing is a  business relationship  between two parties and if  they are both satisfied with  the outcome of the leasing  arrangement, then there is  stability. This stability is  important to landowners  wanting to manage their  assets as well as tenants  who want to make their  production and financing  decisions based on longer  horizons.  Cover …

What are the most common pricing methods for grazing growing crops  or crop residue?    Like grass pasture, grazing growing crops and crop residues may be priced on a flat‐ rate basis, but often these forages are priced on a time‐weight or gain basis.  Common  time‐weight pricing methods include $/head/day or $/cwt/month.  The $/head/day  pricing method offers the landowner less risk of overgrazing, while the cattle owner  will have reduced death loss risk.  The $/cwt/month method can be based on the  beginning or average weight of the livestock.  In each case the animals must be  weighed (once for the beginning weight method, twice for the average weight  method).  If the beginning weight method is used, the cattle owner will bear most of  the production risk, and the landowner will have little incentive to provide service.  If  the average weight method is used, the landowner will share additional production  risk with the cattle owner.  Pricing on a gain basis ($/lb of gain) is common in wheat  grazing situations.  When pricing of a gain basis, production risk is shared by the  landowner and cattle owner, and each has an incentive to manage for gain.         3      Frequently Asked Questions on Pasture Leases in Kansas (Publication: AM‐TJD‐2011.2)  4 …
