Better get a lawyer. In KS it is controlled by statute. March 1 (if I remember correctly) with a letter sent (certified or registered, I forget) containing certain language. It can vary by the crop. Even though wheat harvest is in the summer, miss that March deadline and the farmer can legally plant again in the fall and harvest it the next year. Strict law.
Best to work it out and get him to agree and then get a release if necessary and if his word isn't good enough for you. Farmer gets to harvest crop but does no more so he does not have to spray, fertilize, disk, plow, chisel, or begin working the ground for the next crop. Also he may want something if he put down some lime or something else such as terracing. Most farmers who deal with landlords will not fuss too much. They don't want you going to your fellow landlords saying bad things about him. Now if you have a lot of acres and he just bought a new super huge tractor and combine for it then expect to do it by the book with a lawyer.
How many acres do you have? Have you just talked to the guy about changing the terms of the lease? Are you just mad at the guy cause he harvests your crop last? Does he farm so much that he is too busy to give you the time of day? Many problems and many things can be worked out.
Terminating the old lease is fairly easy. Knowing how to negotiate a new lease and get the right terms is a whole new story. You don't like your oral lease now, you will need a lawyer to put a new one into writing anyway. Get all your ducks lined up now because you will need a new landlord waiting in the wings or possibly go a year cropless or end up with a worse situation.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
