Precision Agriculture Implications for Farm Management:
Farmland Leasing Example

In the US, most farmland is owned by the farmer. However, substantial percentages are owned by someone
other than the farmer. In the most recent USDA Census of Agriculture, 62% of farmland was owned by the
farmer‐operator. The percentage of rented farmland has ranged from 35% in the 1960’s to nearly 43% in 1992.
Rented farmland proportions are higher in the Delta, Corn Belt, and Plains states than the rest of the country
(USDA Census of Agriculture 2012). Therefore, a primary focus of farm management has been on acquiring and
maintaining control of farmland; and an important topic that precision agricultural technologies can be a useful
tool.
During my precision agriculture presentations I have been discussing the value of data. In particular, the
prevalence of farmers and service providers creating printed maps from yield, soil, and other data as the
ultimate use of data was discussed. The value of these printed maps was debated. Upon stating that unused
data has no value, I mentioned that printed yield maps usually end up with similarly very low values, but with a
notable exception for farm management. One exception is that some landowners appreciate printed yield maps,
especially when presented in a format such as framed like a picture suitable for hanging or as kitchen table
placemats. Several participants at the meeting paused to make written notes, and several hallway conversations
followed. Given the interest, it seemed worthy of a short write‐up to share this idea.
Even though not all landowners would find value in receiving printed yield maps at the end of the year, many
would cherish this and it ultimately could make the difference for a farmer to continue farming that tract. The
overall farm management principle here is that farmers who get to know what makes their landowners happy
can position themselves better to maintain and enhance that relationship (assuming some level of utility
maximizing behavior). Some landowners view their investment just as that, an investment, and value the
revenue stream only (i.e. profit maximizing). Others would enjoy telling their friends about their asset, the
history, and current events expressed through a print …
