WABASH, Ind. (RFD-TV) — Inflation continues creating ripple effects across agriculture as producers weigh decisions involving inputs, operating costs, and farmland values.
Howard Halderman with the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss some of the major factors currently influencing the farmland market.
In his interview with RFD-TV, Halderman outlined three key issues he believes could shape the land market through the remainder of 2026. He also weighed in on the potential impact of year-round E15, the importance of pending Farm Bill legislation, and what USDA reorganization efforts could mean for agriculture moving forward.
Finally, Halderman shared advice for producers as they continue to navigate today’s farmland market conditions.
Artificial intelligence is creating more opportunities for farm data, but concerns remain about how information is shared.
