Moreover, “good” farmland values in the first quarter of 2017 were largely the same as in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to the survey responses of 198 District agricultural bankers. Cash rental rates for District farmland continued their decline in 2017, falling 7 percent from 2016. The demand to purchase agricultural land in the three- to six-month period ending with March 2017 was lower than in the same period ending with March 2016. Additionally, the amount of farmland for sale, the number of farms sold, and the amount of acreage sold were down during the winter and early spring of 2017 compared with a year ago. The responding bankers leaned heavily toward the view that farmland values would remain stable during the second quarter of 2017 — a shift from the sentiment that farmland values would continue to decline held widely a year earlier.
