Harvest season means it’s time to start thinking about 2027 farm lease terms, especially with the September 1 termination deadline fast approaching in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Cash rents are holding nearly flat this year, but that stability makes now a good time to review your current lease situation before decisions need to be finalized. Termination guidelines vary by state, so it’s worth understanding the specific rules that apply to your operation well ahead of the deadline. Reach out to Joel or Justin with any questions as you work through your lease planning this season.
