cropland: Kansas Farmland Index update - 05/18/12 12:43 PM
Agricultural land values continue to inflate but at a more moderate pace. Low interest rates help as well as liquid farmers. Belief that above-average crop prices will persist helps fuel the rising land prices too. Creighton University’s latest Farmland-Price Index¹ eased a second straight month to 64.6 in May, from 69.4 in April. The May reading extends the land price expansion to 28 consecutive months. A reading above 50 suggests prices are rising. Bankers in the Creighton survey say land appreciation rates rose in Kansas again. The Confidence Index, which tracks bankers’ expectations for the rural economy six months out, eased slightly to 60.2 in May, from … (1 comments)

cropland: Evaluate the market before your List your Land - 05/03/12 08:04 AM
I am sure everyone has heard over and over the saying location, location, location when it comes to real estate. That may hold especially true for residential and commercial markets but I think it less important for the land market particularly the rural, farmland, and hunting land sectors. Usefulness, Use, & Best Use are my replacements for location, location, location when it comes to rural land.
Before you list your land there are many factors to consider and Robert King’s recent post on LandThink covers preparation of the land in detail but one thing that is usually overlooked by sellers … (0 comments)

cropland: Land Conservation: Buffers, CCRP - 05/03/12 07:49 AM
Considering conservation buffers on your land? The USDA has 250,000 or more buffer contracts with about 160,000 farms and ranches. They may be a good choice for your land and for the environment. They are also economically viable for most operations. The Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CCRP) is one of the programs that provide financial incentives for farmers and ranchers.
Conservation buffers are areas or strips of permanent vegetation established around and in cropland. They are placed between surface water areas and agricultural fields. The buffers range in width from 40 feet to 150 feet.
What do Buffers do?

cropland: Higher Farmland Values - 03/30/12 06:23 PM
Don’t Say it Can’t Go Any Higher!
The big news on farmland values in October was the $16,750 per acre price for Iowa farmland. Even more shocking was that it topped the previous high price of $15,368 an acre a whole week before in another part of the state. Granted, this is some very high quality farmland with high Corn Suitability Ratings. But still, it’s shocking right? Not even a year ago, I met with a group of farmers when Midwest corn ground was hitting $7,000 to $8,000 an acre on a regular basis and the consensus was “It can’t … (3 comments)
