Agri-Pulse published an article stating the average value of American cropland across the country has risen by about 14 percent in 2022 as strong commodity prices and inflation eclipsed rising input and other production costs. It was the second straight year farmers saw substantial increases in the value of their land, with some of the biggest jumps in the Northern Plains, Corn Belt, and the Lake States, according to new USDA data. Senior research fellow Joseph Glauber said “It’s unclear how long we’re going to have high-interest rates, but commodity prices continue to be strong,” he said. “There’s a lot of positive aspects for the farm economy right now.”
