Farm land rented for cash goes directly onto schedule E.
Farm Rental is for when the landlord receives share crop income, (a percentage of the crop raised, not a cash payment).
Earned Income from a farm goes on schedule F which is subject to Se tax.
This is from the General Instructions for IRS form 4835;
Do not use Form 4835 if you were a/an:
• Tenant—instead use Schedule F (Form 1040) to report farm income and expenses;
• Landowner (or sub-lessor) and materially participated in the operation or management of the farm—instead use Schedule F (Form 1040) to report farm income and expenses;
• Landowner (or sub-lessor) and received cash rent for pasture or farmland based on a flat charge—instead report as income on Schedule E (Form 1040), Part I;
• Estate or trust with rental income and expenses from crop and livestock shares—instead report on Schedule E (Form 1040), Part I;
or • Partnership or S corporation with rental income and expenses from crop and livestock shares—instead report on Form 8825.
