Cash rental rates have trended upward throughout Mississippi in all four geographic/soil regions while share rental rates have remained relatively constant. However, cash rental agreements have become more common relative to share contracts as the number of share contracts have dwindled according to surveys conducted by Mississippi State.
Rental rates for corn producers have seen rate increases of around 25% since 2008 with the exception of the Hills Region which was about the same in 2012 as in 2008. Soybean producers have seen more modest increases in cash rental rates during the same period with the exception of the lower delta with a rate increase of 21%. Generally cotton producers are paying higher rental rates as well, especially in the hills region where rates were 75% higher than those in 2008.
