I lease part of mine for cash.
The farmer covers all expenses and gets all the crop profits/losses.

I get enough money to pay property taxes on all my property, including the portions not leased out.

If he wants to break the lease, he has to leave the property in the same condition it was when he started, which means all the ditches are mowed and all the fields mowed or disked and ready to plant

One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!
