Demand for Farms Surges Across Texas Regions
A Dallas News survey finds demand for farm land rising statewide over six months with more than 6,000 farms sold in 100 counties and estimates of 10,000 to 15,000 sales overall. North and Northwest Texas show strongest demand, tenant farm demand is high, and many counties report little to no rent land available. Prices have fallen, with good black land selling for 50 to 100 dollars per acre as urban investors join farmers in investment buying.
