## Description

This MCP server provides precision tools for landowners and tenants to negotiate fair cash rent agreements. It reconciles economic interests by calculating the Cash Rent Equivalent (CRE) to match crop-share models, analyzing net margins for both parties, and generating rent ranges based on historical yield probability distributions. Users can also access USDA-aligned market benchmarks to ensure local competitiveness.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the cash rent equivalent?**
Use the `get_rent_equivalency` tool. Provide the expected crop revenue, the landowner's share percentage, and the non-land costs to find the fixed cash amount that matches a crop-share arrangement.

**Can I see the profit margins for both parties?**
Yes, the `calculate_party_margins` tool calculates the net return for both the landlord and the tenant based on the proposed rent and operating costs.

**How does the tool handle yield uncertainty?**
The `generate_rent_probability_range` tool uses historical yield data to simulate revenue scenarios, providing a rent range and a probability distribution of profitable rent levels.
