It’s non-obvious, but that’s actually very close to how farming works today, at least in the US. Farm-owners will lease their land for a season to grow a specific crop. The land needs to meet requirements for acreage, irrigation, etc., but someone else will “use” the farm.

I’m sure this happens on a continuum from “that’s a big field, can I use it?” to “here are seeds, I expect XYZ yield in N months”.
