                                       - 22 -                                         
          case, we find that petitioners have shown that the 1993 claimed             
          rent, the 1994 claimed rent, and the modified 1995 claimed rent             
          were not derived under an arrangement within the meaning of                 
          section 1402(a)(1)(A) and section 1.1402(a)-4(b)(2), Income Tax             
          Regs., between petitioners and G.E. Johnson, Inc., which provided           
          or contemplated that G.E. Johnson, Inc., was to produce agricul-            
          tural commodities on petitioners’ land and that petitioners were            
          to participate materially in the production of such commodities.            
          On that record, we hold that the 1993 claimed rent, the 1994                
          claimed rent, and the modified 1995 claimed rent, reduced by the            
          deductions attributable to such respective rents, are not subject           
          to self-employment tax because they do not constitute includible            
          farm rental income and therefore are not net earnings from self-            
          employment under section 1402(a)(1).                                        
               We have considered all of the contentions and arguments of             
          the parties that are not discussed herein, and we find them to be           
          without merit, irrelevant, and/or moot.                                     
               To reflect the foregoing and the concession of petitioners,            

                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        under Rule 155.
