Harsh British Irish farm leases ruin soil and tenants
The piece argues that long Irish and British farm leases ruin land by dictating crops and fertilizers, deterring new tenants, and tying inhabitants to the land. It contrasts American short three year leases with cash rents, noting widespread tenant turnover, poor farm upkeep, and declining fertility driven by landlord and tenant misaligned incentives. The article cites the Chicago Times summary of deteriorating farm conditions and resident neglect on long leased estates.
