LEASE REVENUES

The following table sets forth the components of our lease revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):



	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
Fixed lease payments⁽¹⁾	$	38,168	$	28,112
Variable lease payments⁽²⁾	2,524		1,250
Lease revenue, net⁽³⁾	$	40,692	$	29,362


⁽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, 2019 and 2018, we recorded participation rents of approximately $2.3 million and $1.2 million respectively, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $198,000 and $40,000, respectively.
