Iowa farming tenancy panel allows deferred rent payments
An Iowa farm tenancy committee revised its guidance to let farmers defer the balance of rent or mortgage payments when annual rent exceeds half the farm's output. No single year could current and delinquent rent together exceed half of production. Chair Fred K. Hawley stressed the deferment does not create a lien on existing property or the second half of yearly production. The recommendations were sent to the governor and state lawmakers for next January's review and potential legislation.
