DISCLAIMER: These farm lease templates are provided for educational purposes only, do not create an attorney-client relationship, and are not a substitute for competent legal advice by an attorney licensed in your state. The farm lease examples are provided only as general guidance and are not exhaustive. Suggested terms may be unnecessary in all circumstances. The authors strongly suggest that all parties consult with their own attorneys when entering into or evaluating a lease agreement.
A farm lease template provides an efficient starting point for drafting a farm lease agreement. However, lease templates also have limitations. Farm lease templates are often general. They may not fully capture the nuances of each landlord-farmer relationship. While templates can provide a foundation, leases should be reviewed by a legal professional to ensure compliance with state law and to address any circumstances that may be unique to the landlord-farmer relationship before being signed by the parties.
