10. Leases

The Company leases certain manufacturing plants, warehouses, offices, machinery and equipment, and farmland. The Company subleases farmland to third-party growers. At the lease commencement date, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease if it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the right-of-use assets, otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. The Company's leases have remaining noncancelable lease terms of less than one year to approximately 15 years, and typically require fixed monthly rental payments that may be adjusted annually to give effect to inflation. Real estate leases typically include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years. Machinery and equipment operating leases typically include purchase options for the fair market value of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term. Certain other leases for machinery and equipment include nominal purchase options at the end of the lease term that are reasonably certain of being exercised.

In 2019, the Company completed the expansion of its Allentown, Pennsylvania, plant-based beverage facility, including the addition of new aseptic processing and packaging equipment under a seven-year finance lease. At the lease commencement date, the Company recognized $14.5 million of right-of-use assets in property, plant and equipment, and a corresponding lease liability in long-term debt. The right-of-use assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(1) In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit rate in the lease when that rate is readily determinable, which is the case for most of the Company's machinery and equipment leases. In all other cases, including real estate leases, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The Company applied the incremental borrowing rate as at December 30, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2019) to leases that commenced prior to that date. Discount rates are determined on a lease-by-lease basis.
