Historic and Projected Cash Rents as Percentages of Crop Revenues

Gary Schnitkey ( August, 2014 )

Summary

Cash rent as a percentage of crop revenue sometimes is used as a benchmark for setting cash rents. These percentages were higher in 2000-2005 than from 2006-2013. If cash rents do not decrease in 2015, projections indicate that 2015 cash rents percentages will be near 2000-2005 levels. At those levels, however, farmers are projected to have losses. Lowering rents to levels where farmers have no losses results in projected cash rent percentages near 2006-2013 levels.
