Farm Rental questions

[BTDT]

A couple of questions for those of you that are the renter or the rentee:

1.  If you rent a farm (crop ground and pasture) does that include grain storage bins?  Machinary storage barns?
2.  If you rent cattle pasture, does it go from fence to fence or is it just the cleared open ground in that pasture that is paid rent on? (Example - If a fenced in area is 60 acres, and 25 acres is wooded and 35 acres is open pasture, do you pay/charge rent on 60 acres or 35 acres)

Thanks

1. no and no, unless the landlord is gracious but should still be a fee associated with the use of said structures.

2. Figure out county average on timber ground rental and pasture rental.  Adjust if you feel either are above or below average, come up with the total sum and divide by total acres and that is how I would pay the rent.  Pasture and timber ground have different values, but no grain farmer only pays rent on the good ground.
