Yes and no, a lease is a set amount of cash, share cropping is when the landlord gets a percentage of the crop.

Landowner provides seed ,fertilizer, bug killer and transportation. share provides labor. and tillage.
Split proceeds of crop sales.
This was generally the way this was handled in the early 1950’s in the South. I spent the late spring and summer of 1956 in California’s San Juan valley so-east of Bakersfield where a good part of the farming was done on leased land in much greater quantities.
