There's that farmland price cycle. Long-term, farmland price follows the price received for farmland products. Year Price Index Farmland 1962 17 1981 118 1987 62 2002 142 1962 to 1987 is 25 years at 5.3% appreciation per year. 1981 to 2002 is 21 years at 0.9% appreciation per year. For that matter, even a low to a high . . . 1962 to 2002 is 40 years at 5.45% Long term you're looking at inflation or less. The price of farmland depends on food prices. Not mysterious population pressures or exotic shortages of land.

Les,re:'farmland values'. Another sign of RE top. Does anyone have Doctors' investment trend in RealEstate. That is usually another sign of RE top. No offense to the doctors' profession. Just have a relative (surgeon) and knows his 'RealEstate experience' as well as the 80's in Texas. The 'doctors' were all into it. The 'talks' always evolve around 'apartments, farmlands, buildings'. Good that they have the sustain power and make their living. It would be devasting for a 'normal wage earner'. One shall never recover, until next bubble.
