How Georgia farm leases work
When a Georgia lease can end, how much notice it takes and what to put in writing.
How to end a Georgia farm lease
Georgia has no farm-only termination statute. A lease with no fixed term is generally a tenancy at will, and O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7 sets the notice periods.
| Situation | Notice rule |
|---|---|
| Landowner ends a tenancy at will | At least 60 days' notice |
| Tenant ends a tenancy at will | At least 30 days' notice |
| Written lease with an end date | Ends on the stated date |
If a tenant at will planted a crop before notice was given, the tenant keeps the right to it (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-8). Time notice after harvest, put it in writing and keep proof of delivery. Compare every state in Oaken's farm lease termination guide.

Oral vs. written leases in Georgia
Under Georgia's statute of frauds, a lease longer than one year generally must be in writing. Peanut, cotton and irrigated acres all need clear written terms.
Our advice: a lease that has rolled over for years on a handshake leaves no record of the rent, input splits or notice terms. Write it down, even for a one-year deal. Get the templates →

Georgia farm lease questions
What is the deadline to terminate a farm lease in Georgia?
Georgia has no farm-specific deadline. For a tenancy at will, O.C.G.A. § 44-7-7 requires 60 days' notice from the landowner or 30 days' notice from the tenant. A written lease with a fixed end date ends on that date.
What happens to crops when a Georgia lease is ended?
Under O.C.G.A. § 44-7-8, a tenant at will keeps the right to crops sowed or planted before notice to end the tenancy was given. Plan notice around harvest to avoid disputes.
Does a Georgia farm lease need to be in writing?
A lease longer than one year generally must be in writing to be enforceable under Georgia's statute of frauds. The state's landlord-tenant handbook also recommends putting notices in writing.
What is the average farmland cash rent in Georgia in 2026?
Across the 105 of 159 Georgia counties with published 2026 USDA NASS cash rent data, the median county rent for non-irrigated cropland is $58 per acre. Oaken's Georgia cash rent map shows every published county, its rank and its change from 2025.
How does Oaken help manage Georgia farmland leases?
Oaken keeps every Georgia lease, landowner and payment in one place. It tracks rent due dates and each lease's notice deadline, calculates flex and crop-share payments, and gives landowners a portal for statements, so nothing depends on a binder or one person's memory.
