What percentage of the crop should I receive in a crop share lease?
The percentage of the crop that the landowner and tenant receive under a crop
share lease is based on the principle that crop returns are shared in the same
proportion as crop resources contributed. In other words, the percentage of the
crop received is determined by the percentage of crop inputs that the landowner
and tenant each provide in growing the crop(s). These percentages can be
determined by building a budget for each crop grown on the land and then
identifying who provides that input (landowner, tenant, or shared). The KSU‐
Lease.xls spreadsheet is a useful tool in determining equitable crop share
arrangements. Survey information on typical irrigated and non‐irrigated crop‐share
lease arrangements in Kansas is also available on www.AgManager.info.

Yet these success stories mask the troubles of an economy stuck in neutral, with gross domestic product
growing at about 1.6%, unemployment rates hovering around 9%, average mortgage delinquency rate in
excess of 5.3% and stock markets exhibiting wild fluctuations on a weekly basis. The positive financial
news does not tell the story of the construction industry, for example, whose unemployment rate
almost 14% and enduring a loss in excess of 23% in its value added between 2007 and 2010, estimated
from Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis data. The industries with the success
stories have excellent global mobility while those struggling are those constrained to operate
domestically. The mobility affords the companies in these industries the ability to move resources
around to service customers wherever they are. Cargill’s Chairman and CEO, Greg Page, observes in the
explanatory notes to the company’s 2011 performance that “Cargill sought to be a ‘port in the storm’ for
our customers, sourcing food and feedstuffs from multiple origins, handling the logistics, managing the
risk and delivering reliably.”7
Research Purpose and Method
The global nature and the complexity of the recession are making traditional fiscal and monetary
solutions stubbornly ineffective. Yet, the uncertain environment engenders significant opportunities for
businesses and the leaders who have nurtured resources and capabilities to be a “port in the storm” for
their companies to create value and dampen the effects of the turbulence and the challenges.
While it is the government’s job to solve macroeconomic problems, corporate leaders have the
responsibility of ensuring their organizations thrive regardless of the macroeconomic conditions.
Despite this, the general media story line is that business leaders are waiting for the government to
unleash the economy from its shackles so they can invest and hire people. Although this has become an
oft‐repeated refrain, it is prudent to assess its veracity within the agri‐food and agribusiness sector. To
this end, the overall objective of this research is to identify the extent to which agri‐food and
agribusiness leaders see their performance as dependent on the overall performance of the
macroeconomy. The outcome will provide insights on assumptions and perceptions agribusiness and
agri‐food business leaders form about the policy environment and will provide the foundation for
defining solutions to enhance their companies’ strategic capabilities.
To achieve the objective, an online survey was conducted between Aug …
