(1)Operating lease right-of-use assets are shown net of prepaid lease payments of approximately $7,000 and $6,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table sets forth the components of our lease revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):


	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Fixed lease payments(1)	$	69,998	$	51,377
Variable lease payments(2)	5,320		5,654
Lease revenue, net(3)	$	75,318	$	57,031

(1)Fixed lease payments include contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms and includes the amortization of above-market lease values and lease incentives and the accretion of below-market lease values and other deferred revenue.

(2)Variable lease payments include participation rents, which are generally based on a percentage of the gross crop revenues earned on the farm, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants. Participation rents are generally recognized when all contingencies have been resolved and when actual results become known or estimable, enabling us to estimate and/or measure our share of such gross revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded participation rents of approximately $5.2 million and $2.4 million respectively, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $101,000 and $456,000, respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we received a lease termination payment of approximately $3.0 million.
