Pennsylvania Crop-Share Leases
Allocate crop proceeds, seed, fertilizer, insurance, input costs and marketing decisions.
What to research
- Identify whether the Crop-Share Leases applies to irrigated cropland, nonirrigated cropland, pasture or another use in Pennsylvania.
- Document acres, field location, lease duration, permitted uses, parties, payment dates and harvest rights.
- Compare published USDA rental information only within matching land class and reporting year.
- Assign responsibility for soil fertility, irrigation, fencing, roads, improvements, repairs and insurance.
- Review local termination law and legal questions with a qualified professional before committing.
Why local lease details matter
In Pennsylvania, terms may vary by land class, field productivity, irrigation, expected costs, and legal requirements. The published cash rent average does not replace the written lease or an appraisal, and local Extension staff can help identify relevant public data.

Use published estimates as background, not a binding offer. County rental data may be unavailable or suppressed. Check the reporting year and land class.
