The Illinois Soybean Association works hard to provide farmers actionable resources to expand conservation practices on their farms. When it comes to conservation, it can be difficult to make sure landowners and tenants are on the same page and ISA is here to help.
The University of Illinois FarmDoc team has developed three conservation lease addendum templates that can become a part of your lease renewal discussions in order to implement more sustainable practices such as nutrient management, conservation habitats, or soil and health conservation into your operation.
