LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS (RFD NEWS) — Correctly pricing property is a top priority for landowners this year, as factors like water availability and trade uncertainty continue to influence farmland values and investor interest. Producers and buyers alike are closely watching how these elements may impact the market moving forward.
Jeramy Stephens with National Land Realty joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to provide insight into the current state of the farmland market.
