Lincoln, Nebraska, Jan. 26, 2026 — The Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will cover the latest trends in Nebraska cash rental rates, new leasing considerations, and more during its Land Management Quarterly webinar at noon central on Feb. 16.

Each quarter, the webinars address common management issues for Nebraska landowners, agricultural operators, and related stakeholders interested in the latest insights on trends in real estate, managing agricultural land, and solutions to address challenges in the upcoming growing season. 

The February webinar will examine methods for setting cash rents, flex lease alternatives, and considerations for updating agricultural rental arrangements for 2026. It will include an “Ask the Experts” session, allowing participants to get answers to their land or lease questions. 

The webinar will be led by Jim Jansen and Anastasia Meyer, both in the Department of Agricultural Economics. Jansen focuses on agricultural finance, land economics, and the direction of the annual Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Survey and Report. Meyer is an agricultural economist focusing on rental negotiations and leasing arrangements. 

“This webinar will help anyone with a stake in land better understand the financial and human forces reshaping rural agriculture landscape,” Jansen said.
