Abstract

Excerpt from the report: The following discussion of the various features of leases is based partly on a study of lease contracts in actual operation and partly on surveys of tenant farms throughout the country. These leases and survey records not only show the great variation in lease contracts under different conditions, but also indicate a basis for a rational lease form providing a reasonably just and fair sharing of equipment, expenses, and proceeds. The number of lease contracts examined was 258, every State being represented. The number of tenant farm survey records studied with regard to the essential features of the lease agreement was 2,907, including records from 414 dairy farms, 320 stock farms, 298 general farms in the corn belt, 1,113 cotton farms, 453 wheat farms, 176 potato farms, 100 sugar-beet farms, and 33 bean farms. The lease contract often contains minor specific agreements between landowner and tenant not definitely indicated in a farm survey record. All available farm leases, therefore, have been examined with reference to those points.
