🌡️ Are farmland values cooling down? In 2024, lenders saw a slight increase of 3.8% in farmland values. But moving into 2025, two-thirds of lenders anticipate either no change or a decline in land values. There is optimism in the South and West. Lenders in those areas had a more positive outlook.

Lower returns to rented land and higher interest rates began to signal the potential for downward pressure on farmland values in 2023 (see farmdoc daily from August 8, 2023). Those signals continue, with current fundamentals suggesting land value reductions of around 3% in 2025. A 3% decline would be in line with observed adjustments since the 1980s as well as expectations from professional farm managers surveyed in 2024. On the other hand, valid arguments exist for continued strength in farmland values. In particular, strength in the average financial position of grain farms suggests declines in farmland values, if they occur, are not likely to be significant in the short term. https://buff.ly/49lf9Eo

SOLVENCY TRENDS FOR ILLINOIS GRAIN FARMS — by Gerald Mashange and Bradley Zwilling The debt-to-asset ratio of Illinois grain farms has trended downward over the past two decades, indicating an improvement in solvency and a reduction in financial risk. The debt-to-asset ratio has consistently been lower for smaller farms compared to medium-sized and large farms. Some of the differences in farm size and debt-to-asset ratios can be attributed to the age of the farmer. Typically, younger farmers have smaller farm sizes and much higher debt-to-asset ratios. When farmers reach the age group of 50 to 59 years, the size of the farm begins to decrease while debt-to-asset ratios continue to increase. Initial findings from 2023 indicate that the average debt-to-asset ratio remained similar to that of 2022, despite much lower prices at the end of the year. However, projections for 2024 suggest that lower prices, as well as the potential for higher operating loan balances and accrued interest, may increase debt-to-asset ratios.
