AgLetter, No. 1925, August 2004
AgLetter: August 2004
In the second quarter of 2004 there was considerable slowing in the rate of increase in the value of “good” agricultural land for the Seventh Federal Reserve District, as key agricultural prices dropped (especially corn and soybeans). As of July 1, 2004, the quarterly increase in farmland values fell to 1 percent, on average, for the District as a whole, based on a survey of 303 agricultural bankers. For the 12 months ending June 30, the increase was 9 percent, higher than the year-over-year increase seen for the second quarter last year but lower than as of the end of the first quarter of 2004. There were also fewer respondents that anticipated farmland values would rise during the second quarter, compared with the first quarter.
