ALBERTA, Canada (RFD-TV News) — Farmland value growth is slowing across Canada as producers face higher costs and tighter margins.
RealAg Radio host Shaun Haney joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to discuss the latest trends.
In his conversation with RFD-TV News, Haney pointed to Farm Credit Canada data showing farmland values increased 3.8% during the first six months of 2026.
Haney says higher costs and trade uncertainty are prompting producers to preserve capital and focus on the productivity of land they already own. Alberta and Manitoba have shown more strength, while Ontario and British Columbia have slowed from previous years.
Looking ahead, Haney says final crop yields and quality could influence whether producers have the capital to expand or focus on improving existing acres in 2027.
