Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Contracts Between Landlord and Tenant The subject of farm lease contracts between landlord and tenant is one of the most important and at the same time one of the most neglected subjects which the farmer has to consider. In Ohio almost thirty percent, of the farms are occupied by persons other than the owners; in Kansas over thirty percent.; in Texas and Oklahoma more than fifty percent.; and throughout the United States the proportion of farms let to tenants is very large. From these facts it might be expected that the leasing of farms would be reduced to a system. But such is not the case. On the contrary the way of leasing farms is very unsystematic Loose methods are still in use. These methods are in many cases the same which were in use in the early history of the country. They often include the same ratios for division of crops which were adopted then and do not take into account the newer methods of agriculture, the greater equipment needed and the variations in labor required for different crops and for different kinds of farming. Economic principles have not generally been applied to the sharing of profits between the landlord and the tenant. Nor is there any very general knowledge of the rules of common law, or of the customs of the locality, of the statutes pertaining to the subjects involved in the relationship of landlord and tenant of farms. Nor is it generally known that these rules and laws in the absence of any agreement to the contrary become a part of the lease even without any stipulation to that effect. Farms are generally leased by mere verbal agreements which are often vague, incomplete and incapable of proof. The terms are easily forgotten and often denied and avoided.
