E177: The State of US Farmland in 2024
Show Notes

Farmland news was hot in 2023 and promises to remain so in 2024, whether it’s about how much land is selling, how much it’s going for, or who’s buying it. The market has been driven by a number of unpredictable factors in recent years, everything from the pandemic to trade aid to investor interest and high commodity prices. But how long can the run-up last, and what can growers and land buyers expect in the aftermath?

Today, we’re dropping in on DTN Editor-in-Chief Gregg Hillyer as he moderates a panel at the 2023 DTN Ag Summit on the current and future state of farmland markets. You’ll hear from Jeremy Stevens, partner and managing broker at National Land Realty in Little Rock, AK, Howard Halderman, President of Halderman Farm Management in Wabash Indiana, and David Martin, Managing Director of U.S. Agriculture, a privately-held investment firm focused on acquiring and managing quality farmland for institutional investors based in Carmel, Indiana.

This distinguished panel will dig into trends in farmland sales in specific regions across the country, diving deep on what’s motivating purchases of small and large parcels, as well how ag market factors will continue to drive farmland values into the new year.
