I have been approached with the same thing by several landlords over the years.

At first I didn't think it sounded like a bad idea. Luckily I got some good advice. I have had a nice, but frank discussion about this with the landlords that think it sounds good. I ask how much we can take back off the rent if the year goes poorly instead of great. My approach has been if you want to participate in the gains, you need to participate in the losses.

So far no one has taken me up on the offer, and I haven't lost a farm because of the discussion.
