Under this system, a laborer known as a prendeur would agree to cultivate land owned by the ''bailleur'' in exchange for ownership of the crop and its production. For use of the ''bailleur's'' soil, the ''prendeur'' promised a share (normally a third to two-thirds) of the crop's production or its revenue to the ''bailleur''.
