2014 Purdue Agricultural Economics Report Unveiled

Survey Says?! The 2014 PAER report takes a quantitative approach to farmland and cash rent values with its annual survey data.
The June 2014 PAER hit the wire on Tuesday of this week and as expected has created a surge in questions, concerns and conversation on farmland values in Indiana and how they relate to the cost of production for the agricultural industry.
Highly regarded as a valuable resource for all farmers, agriculture professionals, lenders and land owners, the 2014 PAER report is not a crystal ball for determining what is a farm worth. Rather, it should be considered another tool in the toolbox for analyzing production costs and how to improve returns.
We were fortunate enough to sit down with Craig Dobbins, author of the PAER Farmland Market in 2014 report and will be sharing his insights in our full review of the many factors that affect farmland real estate values.
In the meantime, we welcome your comments below and encourage to send us your questions on the hot topic of farm real estate. Stay tuned and subscribe to the blog for the latest news!
