Testimonials

  • Star Rock Farms (PA)

    Getting our data onto the Oaken platform was simple, and the benefits were immediate: accurate, timely, and easily accessible information both in the office and on the road. We see increased accuracy in payment management, renewal information, and overall piece of mind in tracking land partner communications. It has really allowed us more accurately track and manage information internally with all the changes that can arise year to year. Oaken has proven to be the perfect scalable solution as we integrate new business units and continue to grow our family business.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cash rental rates are calculated using official USDA county historical yield data, soil productivity ratings, local land values, and current commodity price forecasts to establish a fair baseline per acre.

  • A fixed cash lease sets a predetermined per-acre price regardless of crop yield or market fluctuations. A flex rent lease combines a guaranteed base rent with a variable adjustment based on actual crop yields, market prices, or total farm revenue.

  • Pasture rental rates factor in historical regional rates, local carrying capacity, stocking rates, and Animal Unit Equivalents (AUE) alongside utility and fencing responsibilities.

  • Grain storage lease rates are calculated based on total bin bushel capacity, utility costs, available aeration, drying equipment, and loading/unloading logistics.

  • Livestock facility rates account for head capacity, facility type, manure management terms, automation features, and utility cost allocations between the facility owner and the operator.

  • Our pricing is tailored to the size and needs of your operation. We don't charge for onboarding, customer support or new feature rollouts. Book a demo to get your free quote.
