EXPANDED METAL HAS MANY
ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER
FLOORING SYSTEMS.
FOR EXAMPLE;
■ Foot problems are reduced compared with
solid concrete or concrete slat flooring
■ Expanded metal ‘‘self-cleans’’ and stays dry
better than any other flooring we've
evaluated As a result, bacteria buildup is
minimized which improves conception
rates and overall herd health
■ Boars and sows have better footing during
breeding compared with breeding on
grooved concrete floors

Profit-sharing land rental fights inflation
NEWARK, Del - With
the rising cost of production,
farmers can’t always make
enough on a crop to afford to
lease land these days A few
Delaware growers and their
landlords have started to use
a system that takes this into
account in basing the rental
fee, in part, on the net return
per acre from the crop
grown on leased land
This system allows the
owner and the renter to pro
fit more equitably from its
use, reports University of
Delaware extension faim
management specialist Don
Tilmon And it puts less

idea shows a lot of promise
Under this system, the
owner and renter enter into a
profit-sharing rental agree
ment This agreement calls
for a base rent, plus pay
ment of an additional fee,
depending on net piofit pei
acre realized on the crop
grown This fee is based on a
sliding scale which only goes
into effect aftei the farmei
rentei has realized a certain
minimum letuin on his in

corn. (Some Delaware
farmland can rent for as
much as $6O-$9O an acre
these days ) After the crop is
made, the net profit per acre
will be calculated on the
average market price for
corn at harvest, less the total
cost of production (including
rent and other fixed and
variable costs)
As long as the net is less
than the base lent, no profit
sharing is called foi But if
net return exceeds this, then
the farmer and-landowner
start to share it
They may have decided,
for example, to split the first/
$5O profit above the $45 per
acre base in $lO increments
Twenty-five percent of the
first $lO may go to the lan
dlord and 75 percent to the
renter; 30 percent of the next
$lO may go to the owner and
70 percent to the farmer, and
so on up to a 50-50 split on
any net return over $95
This sliding scale takes m-

to account the fact that the
farmer is the one who ex
periences the risk of making
and selling the crop At the
same time, it permits the
landlord to share in the pro
fits when yields or corn
prices are good, without set
ting his annual rent so high
that it places an unrealistic
financial burden on the
farmer
Profit-shai mg rental
agieements developed in
other parts of the country
have received some atten
tion in farm magazines, but
so far only a couple of
Delaware farmers are using
the system However, says
Tilmon, it’s something
others may want to consider
as they go about making
plans for the coming crop
year ‘‘l thmk it’s a good idea
in that it allows for a higher
rent payment to the
landlord, without putting un
due stress on the renter in a
poor year.”
