  1. Rental Agreements For Farm Buildings and Livestock Facilities AgLease101.org a product of the North Central Farm Management Extension Committee

  2. How much should I rent my building for? • Commercial rates Example: grain storage May include management as well • Farm record summaries (actual costs) • Surveys: Iowa State University Ag Decision Maker file C2-17

  3. Value of Facilities to the Renter • Condition: repairs needed, performance • Obsolescence • Size or scale • Convenience • Do they fit the renter’s needs? • Location • Alternatives available

  4. Value to the Owner: Ownership Costs Step 1. Establish current value of building = replacement cost x remaining life / initial life Example: swine finishing building, 1,000 head Replacement cost = $200,000 Life = 20 years Age = 7 years Remaining life = 13 Current value = $200,000 x 13/20 = $130,000

  5. Owner’s Costs Step 2: Estimate annual ownership costs • Depreciation: annual rate = 1/13 = 7.7% • Interest: annual rate 5.0% • Insurance and taxes: 1-2% 1.5% • Repairs and maintenance: 1-3% 2.0% • Total ownership costs, % 16.2% • Total ownership costs, in $: Current value: $130,000 x .162 = $21,060 / year

  6. Other Considerations • Include operating costs only if owner pays (electricity, water, fuel) • Adjust rent for partial year’s use • May charge per unit of production Example: 1,000 hd. capacity x 2.5 turns/yr = 2,500 head per year • $21,060 / 2,500 head = $8.42 per pig

  7. Caution! • Building are fixed in location. • Number of potential renters is limited. • Owner may not be able to recover total costs from a renter. • Anything over variable costs is a plus.

  8. Items to Negotiate • Operating costs (who pays?) • Repairs and maintenance (parts & labor) • Water supply • Manure disposal • Insurance • Time and means of payment

  9. Flexible Building Rent • Example: swine finishing buildings • Base rent = $10.00 per pig sold • Base selling price = $75 per cwt. (lean hog) • 900 head sold in April-June • Average lean hog price for Apr-June = $80 (NASS) • Rent = $10.00 x 900 x ($80 / $75) = $9,600

  11. Renting Farm Machinery

  12. Custom Rate Approach:deduct for costs paid by renterExample: tandem disk 1. Average custom rate $13.60 2. Exclude fuel & labor (30% for tillage) - $ 4.08 (20% for planting and harvesting) 3. Rental value with tractor = $ 9.52 4. Subtract tractor rental value per acre $.27 per hp-hr x 150 hp / 15 a/hr - $ 2.70 5. Rental rate for tandem disk only = $ 6.82

  13. Machinery Rental Cost Approach 1. Estimate depreciated value Example: round baler, 5 years old, 20 yr. life New value: $48,000 x 15 / 20 = $36,000 Depreciation: 15 years left = 7% Interest: 6% Insurance and housing: 1% Repairs (2-4%): 2% Total 16%

  14. Machinery Rental Cost Approach 2. 16% x $36,000 = $5,760 annual cost 3. Divide by annual use: 1,000 acres 4. Rental charge per acre = $5.76 Can use same approach for entire machinery line. Short cut: take 15% of value, 12% if older. Divide by annual use (acres or hours).
