Numerous theoretical approaches to farmland leasing contract choice have been developed with little consistent empirical support, particularly for the Corn Belt. A unique theoretical approach to explaining farmers' lease preferences is presented, using a combination of transaction cost economics and property rights theory. Results demonstrate that both transactional and certain producer characteristics are important motivators of contract choice.
