About the time you think you’ve got it figured out something unusual
happens!
For the last several years a large part of our land sales were made to out of area investors; people who were selling high priced property in or near the major metropolitan areas of the country and buying farmland here in the Midwest. With a few exceptions, most farmers were on the sidelines, watching it all happen, trying to find another quarter section to rent. This year, that’s all changed. Farmers are looking at these record commodity prices and they have figured out that they can now afford to buy land, if they can farm it this year, and that’s just what they are doing. The investors seem to be few and far between, out of the market due either to the big slowdown in new home construction and the sub-prime mortgage mess. Negotiating a good cash rent contract for the year has actually hampered farm sales this year; just the opposite of the market over the last several years.
A lot of land has sold at public auction this year and that seems to be the trend. There have been a lot of bell ringer sales but I’ve watched several sell poorly, too. That’s part of the problem; when you have a public auction you give up some control and that can be costly if there is only one buyer for the tract you want to sell.
Look at our Auction Page for Dad's thoughts
The market has so far been soft for land that’s tied up for this coming farming season and its been tough for rougher, pasture ground. The soft market for pasture is surprising to me; I’d think that it would be in great demand what with corn and wheat prices being where they are, but that’s not the case so far this season.
