July 27, 2026

The process of negotiating a lease can be challenging for both landowners and farmers alike. Knowing how to work through that process and what to include in a lease agreement helps to set up a productive conversation for both parties. In this video, Cheyenne Sloan sits down with fellow educators Chris Bardenhagen and Jonathan LaPorte to discuss the “do’s” and “don’ts” of renting land.

Mentioned during the video discussion is the Michigan Farmland Lease Template.  Download today at:
