      abstract = {This paper examines the rental rates that tenants can  afford to pay given
alternative price and yield conditions.  Over the last several years, harvest prices
and yields have  generally tended to be higher than their expected values  when rates
were negotiated with landlords. The benefits  have accrued to the tenants if the
farmland rental contract  was a fixed, cash rental arrangement. Since the  downside
risk in net returns is likely greater than the  upside risk, the paper also looks at
alternative share  arrangements that minimize the downside risk to tenants  and
allow landlords to enjoy an increase in returns if  prices move higher than expected.},
