farming: Farmland: No Marketing Quota for 2013 Wheat Crop - 04/06/12 10:33 AM
In a 1938 Act it required a marketing quota for the 2013 wheat crop if the total supply of the crop would likely be excessive without the quota, so the Secretary of Agriculture decides by April 15, 2012, whether a quota is needed. Based on projected supply and demand, no quota is required.

Summary of recent news regarding agriculture farmland values and investing in agricultural farm land.
Challenges posed by the new wave of farmland investment - Author Klaus Deininger in the Journal of Peasant Studies. The first sentence in the abstract sums it beautifully....

Warren Buffett Likes Farmland Over Gold

They're valued at about $2 1/2 trillion. It's about half the continental United States, this farmland.

farming: Farm Boom - the Food vs. Fuel Fight - 03/01/11 10:23 AM
The Wall Street Journal posted an article Farm Boom is Leading to Growing Concerns which of course begs the question...what concerns? We have berated the topic of a Farmland Bubble on this blog for months now and with help from Thomas Hoening of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City the topic of the farmland bubble just keeps floating around. So a bubble is one concern. But what about all the other concerns. Commodity prices, ethanol, predicted food riots.
It was very interesting to see the comments on the article even while the news media reports their usual implied doom and gloom … (0 comments)

farming: Farmland Bubble or not? - 02/23/11 10:48 AM
So is farmland going to have a bubble or not? The jury is still out.
Here is an expert from recent Wall Street Journal post :A Full Frontal View of the World's Uneven Monetary Policy that sums it up.
.... "Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig-who has for some time now been the chief internal critic of central-bank policy-warned the U.S. Senate Thursday that "history has taught us that it is nearly impossible to determine how much of the farmland boom may be an unsustainable bubble driven by financial markets and how much results from fundamental changes in demand-and-supply conditions."Added Hoenig: "My nagging … (0 comments)

farming: 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)

farming: Start an Agribusiness and use your land for additional income - 02/11/11 09:32 AM
Can your land help promote tourism in your state?
As land professionals we wear many hats when promoting properties and one of my favorite hats to wear is Rural America Promoter. Agritourism is showing up more and more these days as people find new creative ways for the usefulness of their land. Guest or dude ranches have long been known as rural businesses but what exactly is agritourism? Agritourism uses the agriculture basis of the land to promote the area or a product to help bring in visitors. For example, corn mazes are well known form of agritourism.
So how could … (0 comments)
