UNL land and leasing webinars to cover cash rents, landlord-tenant issues for 2025

Lincoln, Nebraska, March 4, 2025 —The latest agricultural land management and leasing considerations, including newly published Nebraska cash rent averages, will be covered during two virtual landlord/tenant cash rent workshops hosted by the Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on March 25 and 27.

The workshops are part of the center’s “Big Questions and Innovative Solutions in Land Management” series, which was presented at locations across the state during the winter. The virtual workshops will cover Nebraska land industry topics for farms and ranches, including evaluating current trends in land values and cash rents, strategies for successful land transitions, lease provisions, legal considerations and managing communication and expectations among family members.

The workshops will be led by Jim Jansen and Anastasia Meyer, both extension agricultural economists with the Center for Agricultural Profitability.

"We’re pleased to present online versions of this year’s workshop so that more people can access the important information they need to make informed land management decisions, navigate lease agreements, and stay up to date with the latest trends in cash rents and land values,” Jansen said.

The March 25 workshop is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 11:30 Central time and will be geared toward viewers in Central and Western Nebraska. The workshop on March 27 is set for noon to 2:30 p.m. Central time and will feature examples more relevant to viewers in Eastern Nebraska. Regardless of location, the general information presented in both meetings will be the same. Presentation materials will be mailed to participants and provided online.

The virtual workshops will be held on Zoom and are free to attend, but registration is required https://cap.unl.edu/land25.
