Iowa State University Extension’s Franklin County office is hosting a farmland leasing workshop Thursday, August 6, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hampton State Bank community room, located at 100 1st St. NW in Hampton. The program is being sponsored by Hampton State Bank.

Those attending will learn about current land value and cash rental rate surveys, types of lease arrangements, estimating costs of production, an update on the 2008 USDA Farm Programs, and ISU Extension and Internet related resources. Kelvin Leibold, ISUE Farm and Ag Business Management Specialist, will be the presenter. A 100-page workbook will be available for sale at $10.

“With the volatile grain markets and increasing input costs you’ll want to attend this meeting to stay up to date on what is happening”, says Leibold.

Any additional questions may be directed to the Blaine Lenz at Hampton State Bank 456-2559 or the Franklin County Extension office at 641-456-4811.
