Bonpas, all I did was read the original post.  Which said, you, as the potential renter, are responsible for all long term improvements. Including terraces, tile, etc.  Which.... would be the things I referenced.   

I'm sure the renter can decide for himself whether to do any of that work or just roll with the crop insurance policy. 

Most of the people I know who rent a whole bunch of acres- I've never seen with dirty hands or muddy boots.
