Topic

A farm leasing agreement in which both landowner and tenant farmer receive a share of the harvested crop. The farmowner contributes farmland and farm buildings, whereas the tenant provides labor and equipment and usually resides on the farm. Both may share the cost of farm inputs such as seed, fertilizers and pesticides; the risk from variation in crop prices and yields is also shared, as compared with cash rents.
