The Iowa farm lease termination deadline is tomorrow.

According to Iowa Code farm lease termination requires a written notice to be served by certified mail on or before September 1st, personally served on or before September 1st, or delivered to the other party with an acceptance of service signed by the person receiving the notice on or before September 1st. The termination deadline acts as a six month notice of termination with leases beginning and ending each year on March 1st. ISU Extension Farm Management Specialist Steve Johnson tells KNIA/KRLS News farmland leasing books are available at the county extension office for anyone who was unable to attend the farm leasing meetings. Farm leases will automatically continue unless either the landlord or the tenant gives notice of termination.
