DES MOINES, Iowa (RFD-TV) — With harvest now wrapped up across much of farm country, growers are beginning to evaluate post-season conditions and what the latest trends in the farmland market.
Elizabeth Strom with the American Society of Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to share an update from her region, noting how Midwest producers are settling into the post-harvest outlook and assessing how this year’s crop cycle may influence management decisions heading into 2025.
In her interview with RFD-TV News, Strom also discussed current farmland values, offering insight into how prices are holding up and what factors are shaping the market as farmers transition from harvest to year-end planning.
