An operator of a farm who rents the farm from someone else is also known as

• A. The owner
• B. The tenant
• C. The landlord
• D. The lessee

Answer: (B)

Being the operator who rents a farm means you are the tenant. You don’t own the land or buildings; you lease them from the owner. The person who owns the property is the owner, and when they lease out land, they are acting as the landlord. Lessee is a legal term for a person who takes property on lease, but in farm practice the common label for someone who rents and runs the farm is tenant. This distinction matters because it shapes how responsibilities, rent, and improvements are handled under the lease agreement.
