The Nebraska Extension will host a Pasture Lease Workshop from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at the Sheridan County Extension Office, 800 S Loofborrow Street, in Rushville. The latest trends in cash rental rates, lease provisions, and grazing land considerations will be presented.

The session aims to equip landlords and tenants with up-to-date management strategies for agricultural land leases. Participants will gain insights from Nebraska Extension Educator Jessica Groskopf, who will present findings from the 2024 Nebraska Farm Real Estate Survey, including key data on land values and cash rental rates. Additionally, Groskopf will cover common lease provisions for pasture and share effective tips for enhancing landlord-tenant communications.

The workshop is free and open to the public. To register, call the Sheridan County Extension Office at 308-327-2312.
