6. LEASES, OTHER COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims

We are not currently a party to any material pending legal proceeding.

Leases

We lease our headquarters facility, office equipment, and other items. Our headquarters lease involved the sale of land and improvements to a third party who then constructed the facility. This lease is considered a financing lease.

We also have an equipment financing arrangement that is considered a financing lease. This arrangement has a term of four years for each draw. We were required to deposit cash into a restricted account in an amount equal to the future rent payments required by the lease. As of March 31, 2021, restricted cash totaled $1.0 million. We have the option to request the return of excess collateral annually in December, and the amount we expect to receive is reflected as a current asset.

 

Rent expense from operating leases was as follows:

Other Commitments

As of March 31, 2021, we have noncancelable commitments to purchase grain and seed from growers at dates throughout 2021 aggregating $11.7 million based on current commodity futures market prices, other payments to growers, and estimated yields per acre. This commitment is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements because we have not taken delivery of the seed or grain as of March 31, 2021.
