Indiana Farmland Values & Cash Rental Rates: 2021 Update Webinar

Purdue ag economists Todd Kuethe, James Mintert and Michael Langemeier discussed the 2021 Purdue Farmland Values Survey results and the USDA’s Land Values report on August 20. The department of agricultural economics conducts the Purdue Farmland Values and Cash Rents Survey each June; the survey is produced through the cooperation of numerous professionals knowledgeable regarding Indiana’s farmland market. The survey results suggest farmland prices across Indiana rose to all-time highs in June 2021. Statewide, 2021 cash rental rates increased across all land quality classes.
