🔍 Ever wondered what affects the value of land in Indiana? There are numerous factors at play, each contributing to the overall value of your farmland or investment land. Let’s break down these key factors...

Curious where California land values are heading? Last week we partnered with Global AgInvesting to present the preliminary findings of our California land trends report. The report analyzes over 15,000 transactions from our Acres database from 2018-2023 compiled by my colleague Aaron M. Shew and his team. The results, which will be available in the full report next month (see link in the comments), highlight the impact that interest rates, water allocations, crop pricing, and increasing on-market inventory are having on land values across crop types, counties, and individual water districts. The overall picture, as always, is complex and nuanced. But major changes are taking place across different land markets in the state, with almonds seeing particular headwinds. We certainly got a lot of questions on the graph below during our presentation, and look forward to sharing the complete report next month.

British farmers have paid an additional £1.45 billion in fertiliser costs since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The invasion triggered soaring gas prices, essential for fertiliser production, resulting in unprecedented high costs in summer 2022. Ammonium nitrate, the primary fertiliser used by British farmers, reached £870 per tonne in September 2022, compared to an average of £217 per tonne in 2020. Analysis by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit found that farmers spent approximately £1.42 billion on fertiliser in 2022 and £964 million in 2023, compared to £470 million in 2020. Although fertiliser prices have decreased from their peak, they remain 50% above pre-crisis levels. With high gas prices projected for the next decade, continued elevated costs are anticipated.

We are beginning to see an increase in the number of farmers looking to sell land, but with an upturn in availability comes a price reduction. In this update, we look at how prospective sellers can maximise the value of the land they wish to part with. https://bit.ly/3JRKMcO
