Le Chen, North Carolina State University Even Small No-Till Adoption Increases Land Values By: No-Till Farmer, Science Daily, & Phys.org - August 8, 2022 By combining all three data sets, researchers Le Chen, Roderick Rejesus, Serkan Aglasan, Steph Hagen and William Salas found that a 1% increase in no-tillage adoption within a county can increase agricultural land value by $7.86 per acre across 12 Midwestern states covered by the OpTIS database: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

We were analyzing their estimated 2023 crop expenses to determine their break-evens and the money available to apply toward land costs. (Continued...) James Mintert, Purdue University Wait and see: Pessimism about ag economy has farmers rethinking capital investments By: News and Tribune - July 18, 2022 “Rising input costs and uncertainty about the future continue to weigh on farmer sentiment,” said James Mintert, the barometer’s principal investigator and director of Purdue University’s Center for Commercial Agriculture. “Many producers remain concerned about the ongoing escalation in production costs as well as commodity price volatility, which could lead to a production cost/income squeeze in 2023.” (Continued...) |
