Mykel Taylor -- Land Lease Agreements
For many people, owning land is something they need to make life complete. Farmers need land to plant and harvest crops--and that often means leasing crop land. Mykel Taylor, an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Kansas State University, has spent several years looking at land lease arrangements between farmers and land owners. What she found is quite different from the rental procedures common in commercial and residential property management. Taylor is also the state specialist in farm management for K-State Research and Extension.
