Farmland is an essential resource for American agriculture. As stewards of the land, farmers and ranchers strive to maximize per-acre value while prioritizing soil health, water conservation and wildlife management. A key indicator of the financial health of the farm sector, farmland values can be influenced by commodity prices, land quality and other factors.
Above-average crop yields created optimism for farmland prices last fall. That post-harvest bump combined with a short supply of land for sale and continued low interest rates have propped up values in many locations, says Randy Dickhut, senior vice president of real estate operations for Farmers National Company (FNC).
