Or are there any other sutiable words or phrases?Thanks in advance.

Answer

A good word is "submit". It carries the idea of subservience, like farmer to government or husband to wife. When I hear "hand in" or "turn in", I think of school assignments.

Answer

1. Have to hand in most of their crop yield/have to relinquish most of their crop yield

2. The husband has to give most of his salary/has to hand over most of his salary
