Buying farmland is a little tricky. If one is looking for the best price, it may take a little time. That is because land prices follow market levels. When commodity prices are high, land values go up. And just the opposite. But the market level is just one factor that impacts land values. Interest rates, inflation, the world economy. Even weather can have an impact on the price of a piece of farmland. Finally, there is one other factor to be considered. Where the land is located. Historically, land values in the upper mid-west carry the highest prices while the southeast and the southwest take times at being the lowest. The reason is, the regions are most affected by weather patterns. Finally, taxes. They vary, but they do have an impact.

That’s Agri View for today. I’m Everett Griner…
