As the cost of owning land rises, and farm profitability tightens, now's the time to evaluate the role that leased and rented land plays on our local farms - and our bottom lines.

Join Farm Business Management Specialist, Katelyn Walley-Stoll, to learn more about the considerations and resources that are available for evaluating and executing your land lease options, with risk management in mind. Topics of discussion include written lease agreements, determining "fair" rental rates, risk management tools, and communication strategies.

This will be held virtually via an interactive Zoom webinar. You will receive instructions to join the webinar prior to the event. We will be distributing a recording and session slides/resources to all registered participants.

While this webinar is free to attend, pre-registration is required: https://cornell.zoom.us/webina...
