Foreign investors buy Maryland farmland rising prices noted
Foreign buyers have acquired thousands of acres across Maryland, lifting the average farmland price from 290 in 1980 to 2604 this year. West Germans acquired 1800 acres of an apple orchard in western Maryland, while the Eastern Shore hosts several prime farms. Experts say investors are motivated by speculation and tax advantages, with foreign ownership now estimated at about 2 percent of Maryland farmland. A Munich firm, Agriconsult, opened an Annapolis office to advise on Maryland agriculture prospects.
