acreage: 2011 USDA Land Values Summary - 2010 Data changes in report from last year - 08/05/11 11:54 AM
Reading through the 2011 USDA Land Values Summary it became apparent that the 2010 numbers listed on the historical data were different than what had been actually published in the 2010 report.  Looking through all the previous numbers back to 2006 they had not changed from year to year in the reports but for some reason 2010 data changed in the 2011 report.  Below is two charts showing the differences in the numbers that were listed in the 2010 report vs. how they are listed in the 2011 report.  It certainly effects the percent change in land values with the different … (0 comments)

acreage: Federal Reserve Reports Rapid Rise in Land Values and Farm Income - 02/17/11 09:53 AM
They report that prices had risen substantially from the previous year.  The year-over-year rise for non-irrigated land for Kansas was 19.5%.  Take note that this is a survey of select bankers across the region and is not an indication of the entire market. Bankers have knowledge of sales that have loans and many transactions are cash and are never reported.  Typically a higher priced sale is going to need a loan as well.
This report is always substantially higher on values than what K-State reports on their annual reports which is probably closer to true values.  A few select auction sales … (0 comments)
