Who this is for
You own it. Someone else farms it.
The Landlord Plan is for the owner who is not on the tractor: the person who has to price a lease, answer a developer, or read a tax notice without a farm office to lean on.
This is you if
- An heir who kept the family ground and now leases it out
- A retired owner who no longer farms but still owns the land
- Siblings who own a parcel together and need one number they all trust
- An out-of-state owner who never sees the field
Especially when
- A lease is coming up for renewal
- A solar or wind letter landed in the mailbox
- A reassessment notice arrived from the county
- The tenant who has farmed it for years is retiring
What you get now
- The Decision Report for this parcel, generated the moment you subscribe.
- The county cash-rent benchmark and this parcel’s rent band.
- The four land uses side by side: working farm, cash rent, conservation, and a solar or wind lease.
- Every number with its source and date. The number both sides can check.
The founding promise
Some services are live today, some run in pilot counties, and some are scheduled. The table below says which is which.
If we haven't sent your first Rent Letter by January 31, 2027, or you want out before then for any reason, we refund the year in full.
What's live, and what's coming
Every service, and where it stands.

What you get, and what you don't
What the plan gives you, and what still needs a professional.
What the plan gives you
- The county cash-rent benchmark, with the survey year it comes from.1
- A modeled rent band for this parcel, labelled as modeled. The county average is one number for the whole county; the band is this parcel.
- The acres the rent is figured on.
- The source and date beside every figure.
What still needs a professional
- An opinion of value. A Decision Report is not an appraisal; for a loan, an estate or a sale price, use an appraiser.
- Running the lease and the tenant relationship day to day: a farm manager.
- Lease terms, estates and sales: an attorney.
- Tax treatment of rent or a sale: a tax adviser.
- 1. County cash-rent average: one county-wide figure. Source: USDA NASS county cash rent, annual cycle.
