        562.8  TERMINATION OF LIFE ESTATE -- FARM TENANCY.
         Upon the termination of a life estate, a farm tenancy granted by
      the life tenant shall continue until the following March 1 except
      that if the life estate terminates between September 1 and the
      following March 1 inclusively, then the farm tenancy shall continue
      for that year as provided by section 562.6 and continue until the
      holder of the successor interest serves notice of termination of the
      interest in the manner provided by section 562.7.  However, if the
      lease is binding upon the holder of the successor interest by the
      provision of a trust or by specific commitment of the holder of the
      successor interest, the lease shall terminate as provided by that
      provision or commitment.  This section does not abrogate the common
      law doctrine of emblements.
