On the recordFebruary 28, 1996
the gentleman from Texas brought up an interesting point, and I listened to the gentleman from Kansas for an answer. I did not exactly hear that exact answer; that is, if an owner of farmland who in the past has leased it out or sharecropped it or cash rented, can he terminate those contracts and receive the money? I believe that was one of the questions. Now, as I read it, if there is no existing contract on that land, if it has not been renewed, now, most of them in my area have already been renewed, those that are going to be, they are done, so they are stuck with it. If it has not and the owner wants to go in and go for the payments themselves, then I understand he has a right to do that and to get the payment, and he does not have to cash rent it or rent it out.
