Explanation of Article 572
The default in sharecropping is that the seeds are provided by the landowner as part of the capital he is obliged to provide, and the worker's obligation is limited to labor only; however, the article clarifies the validity of the seeds being provided by the worker or by both parties; and this does not change the transaction from being an agricultural partnership contract.
Similarly, the default in irrigation contracts is that the trees are provided by the landowner as part of the capital he is obliged to provide, but the article clarifies the validity of the trees being provided by the worker or by both parties; this is done by the landowner delivering the land on the condition that the worker provides the saplings, which are the trees planted in the land, and the yield of the trees is shared between them; meaning that the obligation of the landowner in this case is the land and not the trees.
This does not change the transaction from being an agricultural partnership contract.
