Farmland Price Headlines

  • "...quarterly decrease of 6% (...in 2009) ... the largest quarterly decline since 1985"

(Chicago Fed AgLetter).

  • "It's Confirmed: Farmland Prices are Correcting". Continuing with an attribution to

USDA, "...both Bloomberg and the WSJ are reporting the first annual drop in U.S. farmland prices in 20 years of an average of -3.2%". (www.seekingalpha.com)

  • Various sources have cited declines in Iowa farmland values from last year ranging

from about 5% to nearly 7.6% (HPJ Land Journal, ISU Ag Decision Maker, others).

  • In its mid-2009 survey, the Illinois Society of Professional Farm Managers and

Rural Appraisers found high quality land to be down 2.38%, lower quality land off 5.6%, and were among the first to note evidence of expectations of declining cash rents.

  • USDA sources show farmland values in Illinois down .4% from the same period in

2008, with steeper declines in IN and IA, though surveyed cash rents paid were still up into 2009 from a year earlier.

  • Credit spreads can widen quickly.
  • In crisis, diversification does not work well.

institutions.
