Sharecropping

n. tenant farming, paying for rented farmland with a portion of one's crops

v. farm land as a sharecropper

Sharecropping is a system of agriculture or agricultural production where a landowner allows a sharecropper to use the land in return for a share of the crop produced on the land. Sharecropping has a long history, and there are a wide range of different situations and types of agreements that have encompassed the system. Some are governed by tradition, others by law. Legal contract systems such as métayage (French origin) and aparcería (Spanish) occur widely, and Islamic law has a traditional “musaqat” sharecropping agreement for the cultivation of orchards.
