Indiana Pasture Land, Irrigated Farmland, Hay Ground, and On-Farm Grain Storage Rent

August 7, 2014

PAER-2014-8

Craig L. Dobbins, Professor & Kim Cook, Research Associate 

Estimates for the rental value of irrigated farmland, pasture land, hay ground, and on-farm grain storage in Indiana are often difficult to find. 

For the past several years, questions about these items have been included in the Purdue Farmland Value Survey. 

The values from the June 2014 survey are reported here. Because the number of responses for some items is small, the number of responses is also reported. 

Averages for pasture rent, the market value of and cash rent for irrigated farmland, and the rental of on-farm grain storage are presented in Tables 1, 2, and 3, respectively. 

The rental rate for grain bins includes the situation where there is just a bin and the situation where there is a bin and utilities. 

Table 4 provides information about the rental rate for established alfalfa-grass and grass hay ground. 

Information from prior years’ surveys can be found in the Purdue Agricultural Economics Report archive in the August issue beginning in 2006.
