If a written agreement is made fixing the time of the termination of a tenancy, the tenancy
shall terminate at the time agreed upon, without notice. Except for a farm tenant who is a
mere cropper or a person who holds a farm tenancy with an acreage of less than forty acres
where an animal feeding operation is the primary use of the acreage, a farm tenancy shall
continue beyond the agreed term for the following crop year and otherwise upon the same
terms and conditions as the original lease unless written notice for termination is served upon
either party or a successor of the party in the manner provided in section 562.7, whereupon
the farm tenancy shall terminate March 1 following. However, the tenancy shall not continue
because of an absence of notice if there is default in the performance of the existing rental
agreement.
