The Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska Lincoln will host its next Land Management Quarterly webinar at noon Central Time on February 16. The session will focus on updates to cash rental rates, leasing considerations, and land management planning for 2026.
These quarterly webinars are designed to address common land management topics for landowners, agricultural operators, and other stakeholders. The series provides practical insights into agricultural real estate trends, land use decisions, and strategies to manage challenges ahead of each growing season.
The February webinar will explore several important topics. These include methods for setting up cash rents, the use of flex lease alternatives, and key considerations for updating rental agreements for the 2026 season. The goal is to help participants better understand both financial and operational factors affecting land arrangements.
An interactive “Ask the Experts” segment will allow participants to submit questions and receive guidance related to land management or leasing concerns. This discussion format encourages learning and practical problem solving.
The webinar will be led by faculty from the Department of Agricultural Economics with expertise in agricultural finance, land economics, rental negotiations, and leasing arrangements. Their work includes ongoing research and analysis of Nebraska farmland values and rental trends.
“This webinar will help anyone with a stake in land better understand the financial and human forces reshaping rural agriculture landscape,” Jansen said.
The webinar is free to attend and will be recorded for later viewing. Recordings from past sessions, including those from the full Land Management Quarterly series, are available starting the day after each event.
Registration is required and can be completed online at
