Tenant farming is an [[Agrarian system|agricultural production system]] in which landowners contribute their land and often a measure of operating [[Capital (economics)|capital]] and management, while tenant farmers contribute their labor along with at times varying amounts of capital and management. Depending on the contract, tenants can make payments to the owner either of a fixed portion of the product, in cash or in a combination. The rights the tenant has over the land, the form, and measures of payment vary across systems (geographically and chronologically). In some systems, the tenant could be [[evicted]] at whim ([[tenancy at will]]); in others, the landowner and tenant sign a contract for a fixed number of years ([[tenancy for years]] or [[indentured servant|indenture]]). In most [[developed country|developed countries]] today, at least some restrictions are placed on the rights of landlords to evict tenants under normal circumstances. ==England and Wales== Historically, rural society utilised a three-tier structure of [[landowner]]s ([[nobility]], [[gentry]], [[yeomen|yeomanry]]), tenant farmers, and [[farmworker]]s. Originally, tenant farmers were known as [[peasants]]. Under [[Anglo-Norman law]], almost all tenants were bonded to the land, and were therefore also [[villeins]], but after the labour shortage occasioned by the [[Black Death]] in the mid-14th century, the number of [[free tenants]] substantially increased.<ref>{{Cite book|author=Dowell, Stephen|year=1876|title=A sketch of the history of taxes in England, Volume 1: To the civil war, 1642|publisher=Longmans|location=London|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=AEQIAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA191 191]|oclc=228439554}}</ref> Many tenant farmers became affluent and socially well connected, and employed a substantial number of labourers and managed more than one farm.

The landmark 1948 Act was enacted at a time when war-time food rationing was still in force and sought to encourage long-term investment by tenants by granting them lifetime security of tenure. Under the Agriculture (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, security was extended to spouses and relatives of tenants for two successions, providing that they had been earning the majority of their income from the holding for five years. Succession rights were however withdrawn for new tenancies in 1984<ref>{{Cite book|author=Marsden, Terry|year=1986|chapter=Property—state relations in the 1980s: an examination of landlord-tenant legislation in British agriculture|editor1=Cox, Graham |editor2=Lowe, Philip |editor3=Winter, Michael |title=Agriculture: People and Policies|publisher=Allen & Unwin|location=London|pages=126&ndash;145|isbn=978-0-04-307001-7}}</ref> and this was consolidated in the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986.

The essence of the code was to establish complex constraints on the landlord's ability to give the notice to quit while also converting fixed-term tenancies into yearly tenancies at the conclusion of the fixed term. In addition, there was a uniform rent ascertainment scheme contained in section 12. It became difficult to obtain new tenancies as a result of landlords' reluctance to have a tenant protected by the 1986 Act and in 1995, the government of the day, with the support of industry organizations, enacted a new market-oriented code in the form of the [[Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995]]. The protection of the 1986 Act remains in respect of tenancies created prior to the existence of the 1995 Act and for those tenancies falling within section 4 of the 1995 Act. For all other tenancies granted on or after 1 September 1995, their regulation is within the 1995 Act framework. That Act was altered with effect from 18 October 2006 by the Regulatory Reform (Agricultural Tenancies)(England and Wales) Order 2006 SI 2006/2805, which also contains changes to the 1986 Act. Tenancies granted after 18 October 2006 over agricultural land used for a trade or business will fall within the limited protection of the 1995 Act so as to enjoy (provided the term is more than two years in length or there is a yearly tenancy) a mandatory minimum twelve months written notice to quit, including in respect of fixed terms. There is for all tenancies within the scope of the Act a mandatory tenants' right to remove fixtures and buildings (section 8) together with compensation for improvements (Part III). The rent review provisions in Part II may be the subject of choice to a much greater extent than previously. Disputes under the Act are usually, by the terms of Part IV, the subject of statutory arbitration controlled by the framework of the [[Arbitration Act 1996]]. The current regime under the 1995 Act for regulating tenancies, commonly known as Farm Business Tenancies, permits the creation of a clearly and easily terminable interest, whether by a periodic tenancy or a fixed term. In the cycle of animal husbandry and land use and improvement, the long-term effect of the Farm Business Tenancy on the landscape of Britain is not yet proven. It was predicted by landowners and other industry spokesmen that the 1995 Act would create opportunities for new tenants by allowing large areas of new lettings but this has not happened in practice as most landowners have continued to favour share farming or management agreements over formal tenancies and the majority of new lettings under the Act have been to existing farmers, often [[owner-occupier]]s taking on extra land at significantly higher rents than could be afforded by a traditional tenant.<ref name=Gibbard /> ==Canada== From the nineteenth century on, tenant farming immigrants came to Canada not just from the British Isles but also the United States of America.<ref>{{cite journal |title=The Plains Farmer and the Prairie Province Frontier, 1897-1914 |first=K.

The [[Purchase of Land (Ireland) Act 1885]] followed, finally the great breakthrough after the successful 1902 [[Land Conference]], the enactment of the [[Land Purchase (Ireland) Act 1903]] whereby the state financed tenants to completely buy out their landlords. Under the Act of 1903 and the consequential Act of 1909, the national situation was completely transformed. When in March 1920, the Irish Estate Commission reviewed the development since 1903 under these Acts, they estimated that 83 million sterling had been advanced for {{convert|9|e6acre|km2}} transferred, whilst a further {{convert|2|e6acre|km2}} were pending costing 24 million sterling.<ref>Lyons, F.

In 1983, the Commission ceased acquiring land; this signified the start of the end of the commission's reform of Irish land ownership, though freehold transfers of farmland still had to be signed off by the Commission into the 1990s.

Heavy demands were placed on these tenants by their landlords, the ''bønder'' or land-owning farmers. The majority of the husmann's working hours were usually taken up by work for the landlord, leaving him little time to work on his own land or better his own situation. As a result, though the husmenn were technically free to leave the land at any time, their poor economic state made them in essence "economic serfs". Failing to own their own land also made tenant farmers ineligible to vote according to the [[Norwegian Constitution]] at the time. The number of tenant farmers in the country grew during the 19th century, rising from 48,571 in 1825 to 65,060 in 1855, the latter figure representing the height of the husmann population in Norway, most of whom lived in the eastern part of the country. Given their difficult economic and social position in Norway, many Norwegian husmenn immigrated to Canada and the United States throughout the 19th century. Following the [[revolutions of 1848]] the husmenn's cause was taken up by [[Marcus Thrane]]. Thrane fought for the husmenn's rights at home and also encouraged them to emigrate and seek better fortunes abroad. The number of husmenn began to decline in the second half of the 19th century, and by 1910 they made up less than 5% of Norwegian society.<ref>{{cite book|last=Blegen|first=Theodore C.|title=Norwegian Migration to America 1825-1860|publisher=The Norwegian-American Historical Association|date=1931|location=Northfield, Minnesota}}</ref> === Sweden and Finland === The term ''torpare/torppari'' (Swedish/Finnish for [[crofter]]) refers to a slightly different type of tenant farmers, less secure than the inheritable [[usufruct]] right as ''åbo'' but sometimes with contracts as long as 50 years. The lease was, depending on the landowner's good will, in practice often transferred to a son or a widow. Their situation was usually poor but, contrary to in Denmark, they were in theory always free to leave. The croft's lease was typically paid in the form of [[corvée]]. They would work their own land as well as that of a landowning farmer (''bonde''), noble or other. In some aspects their situation made them easy victims of [[impressment]]. Population growth and landreforms ''([[enskiftet]])'' contributed to a 19th century increase of crofts but, particularly in Sweden, also to a shift from tenant farmers to farm laborers ''([[statare]])'' hired on yearlong contracts, paid in-kind. The lives of ''torpare'' and ''statare'' were described by prominent Swedish and Finnish novelists and writers such as [[Ivar Lo-Johansson]], [[Jan Fridegård]], [[Väinö Linna]] ([[Under the North Star trilogy]]) and [[Moa Martinson]]. The ''Statare'' system was abolished in 1918<ref>Rasila V. 1970, Torpparikysymyksen ratkaisuvaihe (in Finnish)</ref> (Finland) and 1945<ref>[[Bra Böckers Lexikon]], 1980 (in Swedish)</ref> (Sweden), the ''Torpare'' system more gradually. ==Scotland== {{Expand section|date=July 2010}} [[Scotland]] has its own [[Scots law|independent legal system]] and the legislation there differs from that of England and Wales. Neither the AHA 1986 nor the ATA 1995 applies in Scotland. The relevant legislation for Scotland is rather the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003 with the following amendments in The Public Services Reform (Agricultural Holdings) (Scotland) Order 2011, The Agricultural Holdings (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2012 and The Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) 2003 Remedial Order 2014. These supersede the previous legislation in the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1991 and the Agriculture (Scotland) Act 1948.<ref name=HMRC1995/> For Scotland see [[Crofting]], a traditional and long-established means of tenant and subsistence farming. ==United States== Tenant farming has been important in the US from the 1870s to the present. Tenants typically bring their own tools and animals. To that extent it is distinguished from being a [[Sharecropping|sharecropper]], which is a tenant farmer who usually provides no capital and pays fees with crops. A hired hand is an agricultural employee even though he or she may live on the premises and exercise a considerable amount of control over the agricultural work, such as a foreman. A sharecropper is a farm tenant who pays rent with a portion (often half) of the crop he raises and who brings little to the operation besides his family labor; the landlord usually furnishing working stock, tools, fertilizer, housing, fuel, and seed, and often providing regular advice and oversight. Tenant farming in the North was historically a step on the "agricultural ladder" from hired hand or sharecropper taken by young farmers as they accumulated enough experience and capital to buy land (or buy out their siblings when a farm was inherited).<ref>Donald L. Winters, "Tenant farming in Iowa, 1860-1900: a study of the terms of rental leases." ''Agricultural History'' 48.1 (1974): 130–150. [https://www.jstor.org/stable/3741424 Online]</ref> About two-thirds of sharecroppers were white, the rest black. Sharecroppers, the poorest of the poor, organized for better conditions. The racially integrated [[Southern Tenant Farmers Union]] made gains for sharecroppers in the 1930s. Sharecropping had diminished in the 1940s due to the Great Depression, farm mechanization, and other factors.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sharecropping |url=https://www.pbs.org/tpt/slavery-by-another-name/themes/sharecropping/ |website=[[Slavery by Another Name#Film adaptation|Slavery by Another Name]] |publisher=[[PBS]] |access-date=7 December 2021}}</ref> ===Black Belt conditions=== {{further|Black land loss in the United States|African-American history of agriculture in the United States|Jim Crow economy}} In the [[Black Belt in the American South]] until the mid 20th century, the predominant agricultural system involved white land owners and [[African-American]] tenant farmers. Very little cash changed hands. The few local banks were small and cash was scarce and had to be hoarded for taxes. Landowners needed a great deal of labor at harvest time to pick the cash crop, cotton.<ref>Arthur F. Raper, ''Preface to peasantry: A tale of two black belt counties'' (1936) [https://archive.org/search.php?query=title%3A%28%27%27Preface+to+peasantry%22%29&page=2 Online free to borrow]. </ref> The typical plan was to divide old plantations into small farms that were assigned to the tenants. Throughout the year the tenants lived rent-free. They tended their own gardens. Every week, they bought food and supplies on credit through the local country store. At harvest time, the tenants picked the cotton, and turned it all over to the landowners. They sold the cotton on the national market and used part of the funds to pay the debts owed to the country store. The cycle then started all over again. Landowners also worked some of the land directly, using black labor paid in cash. The landowners held all the political power, and fought vigorously against government welfare programs that would provide cash that would undermine the cashless system. Economic historians Lee Alston and Joseph Ferrie (1999) describe the system as essentially an informal contract that: :bound employer and worker through the provision of housing, medical care, and other in-kind services along with cash wages. At its heart, it guaranteed a stable and adequate labor supply to the planter. Though restricted by the directives of the planter, workers in return received some measure of economic stability, including a social safety net, access to financial capital, and physical protection in an often-violent society.<ref>Lee Alston and Joseph Ferrie, ''Southern Paternalism and the American Welfare State'' (1999) p 28 quoted in Gibbs, "Reconsidering the Southern Black Belt" (2003) p 258.</ref> Tenant farmers often had agricultural managers who supervised their activities. In 1907, for instance, J. H. Netterville began employment for the Panola Company, an agricultural business founded by William Mackenzie Davidson in the rich farming area of [[St. Joseph, Louisiana|St. Joseph]] in [[Tensas Parish, Louisiana|Tensas Parish]] in northeastern Louisiana in the Mississippi River [[River delta|delta]] country. In its heyday, Panola controlled some eleven thousand acres, two-thirds planted in cotton and the other third in grains. Netterville became general manager of three highly profitable Panola properties, the Balmoral, Blackwater, and Wyoming plantations near [[Newellton, Louisiana|Newellton]], in which capacity he supervised 125 African-American tenant farming families, with little strife and great ease, according to reports from that period.<ref>Henry E.
