This week I received a call on pasture leasing and typical pasture rent survey rates in the area. Changing the terms of cropland or pasture leases is easy as long as both parties agree on the changes and getting it in writing is a must. Use a good attorney or you can also use an Extension template. This caller asked for an Extension template and they are located at the Ag Lease 101 website at: www.aglease101.org/DocLib/default.aspx The templates are fill in the blank right on the web, and when signed by both parties and with a notary public signature, are legal and binding.

University of Nebraska Extension and the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) are planning a series of Farm Bill education meetings in late November through December in Nebraska to assist producers as they begin to make farm-bill related program decisions.
The 2018 Farm Bill, signed into law last December, reauthorized the existing Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) commodity crop safety net programs that were in the 2014 Farm Bill, however, producers will need to make new program enrollment decisions over the coming months.
