Farm economy shows resilience despite weather and downsides
A Agriculture Department figures show farm land value up about 3.3 billion dollars from last year, with farm real estate debt at about 10 percent of value. Foreclosures and distress sales remain low, while demand for land stays strong. About 100,000 farm sales occurred in the year ending March, an 8 percent drop from the prior year. Tenant farming declines as owner-operators buy land. 79 percent of operators own some or all of their land, a peak in 81 years. Overall, the American farm economy appears robust amid urban growth and consolidation.
