"If you're struggling to decide what you can afford to pay for cash rent in 2016 and subsequent years, this webinar can help. Purdue agricultural economist Michael Langemeier and I will discuss cash rent strategies you can use in 2016. We'll also demonstrate how you can use a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet tool to compute a break-even cash rent for farmland, compare it to what you perceive to be the market cash rent in your neighborhood, and evaluate the impact paying a cash rent above your breakeven could have on your farm's liquidity.
