Declining agricultural land values in Nebraska are beginning to show up in cash rental rates, but not uniformly across all land types. Nebraska Extension Ag Economist Jim Jansen points out, rent agreements are shaped by several important factors beyond just land prices.
For years, the Missing Middle team has advocated for reducing the tax burden on new construction. With pre-construction sales down 95% in some GTA markets, the industry has hit a wall where it simply makes no financial sense to build.In this week's episode, we answer some of the questions and misconceptions we've read online about the new HST rebate on new homes. Beyond the rebate, they explore bigger structural challenges like land costs, zoning, and competition in development. The key question remains whether this policy can meaningfully increase supply in a market that is still not functioning normally.If the goal is to improve affordability, the HST rebate may help, but it is only one part of a much larger housing problem.Chapters:00:00 - Gov Announces HST Rebate and Reduced Development Charges01:22 - Overview of HST Changes01:52 - History of Previous Rental and Ownership Rebates02:58 - Expanding Eligibility Beyond First-Time Buyers05:32 - Addressing the "Demand Subsidy" Misconception07:25 - Will Developers Pass Savings to the Buyer?09:04 - The Impact on Land Values and the Need for Reform10:05 - Historical Comparison of Government Taxes and Fees11:26 - How Accurate are the Government Numbers?12:42 - Projected Impact and the One-Year Program Limit14:09 - Retroactive Eligibility and Final ThoughtsResearch/links:Doug Ford and Mark Carney to expand HST rebate to all new home buyershttps://www.thestar.com/news/canada/exclusive-ford-and-carney-to-expand-hst-rebate-to-all-new-home-buyers/article_55543d47-86b9-466d-bd17-6155c4d62097.htmlDoug Ford and Mark Carney to expand HST rebate to all new home buyers : r/canadahousinghttps://www.reddit.com/r/canadahousing/comments/1s3a8cs/doug_ford_and_mark_carney_to_expand_hst_rebate_to/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinThis podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Lessons From the Delta continues — but this time, the focus shifts from fields to finance. In Episode 2 of the Purdue Commercial AgCast mini-series, Chad Fiechter and Todd Kuethe sit down with Aaron Shew of Acres to explore how farmland is valued, how capital moves through the Delta, and why agricultural land markets are more complex than most producers realize. Unlike residential real estate, there is no “Zestimate” for farmland. In many counties, fewer than 10 land transactions occur each year — yet prices can shift 5–10% annually. That creates real challenges for lenders, brokers, investors, and farmers trying to make long-term capital decisions. The conversation also discusses: • Why agricultural land data is fragmented and difficult to combine • How lenders and investment firms evaluate farmland purchases • The role of mortgage data and transaction history • What rice farmers are actually paid for — and why it's different from corn and soybeans • How milling yield introduces another layer of risk As the Delta's irrigation-dependent system shows, land values, water access, and milling economics stack together to create a very different capital structure than what most Midwest producers experience. While the crops may differ, the business questions are familiar: How do you value long-term assets in volatile markets? How does capital flow shape farm strategy? And how does payment structure influence risk? This episode builds on Part 1 and sets up upcoming conversations on irrigation automation and capital investment decisions in the Delta. We'll also be sharing additional video clips and behind-the-scenes content from the trip on our YouTube channel throughout the series.

Farmer Mac's Jackson Takach returns with a title update and a clear read on the new USDA outlook. He unpacks why USDA revised 2025 net cash farm income down by about 30 billion dollars, then sets 2026 at 158 billion dollars with roughly 44 billion dollars of support payments, about 30 percent of profits. Inputs are still high for grains and oilseeds, while protein sectors benefit from cheaper feed and steady demand. Land values look similar to 2025 with strength in cattle and recreational areas, caution in the Delta, and water-sensitive pockets out West. Jackson closes with rate risk, fertilizer and trade wildcards, and a simple plan for producers to time operating, intermediate, and long-term debt. Farmer Mac https://www.farmermac.com/ The Feed https://www.farmermac.com/news-events/the-feed/ National Land Realty https://www.nationalland.com USDA pegs 2026 net cash farm income at about 158 billion dollars after marking 2025 down by roughly 30 billion, with about 44 billion coming from support programs. Grains and oilseeds face tight margins from high inputs and softer prices, while cattle, hogs, and poultry see better profitability on lower feed costs and solid demand. Farmland outlook echoes 2025: firmer in cattle and recreation zones and near metros, softer pressure in the Delta across soybeans, cotton, and rice, and localized water risks in the West. Financial health remains okay at the sector level with lower debt-to-asset ratios and easing short-term interest expense, though planning matters. Key swing factors for 2026 include fertilizer supply, trade flows, drought, and biofuels demand; producers should set a written plan for operating, intermediate, and long-term debt. Farmer Mac updates: earnings call on February 19, quarterly webinars, The Feed, and a Farmland Price Index based on actual trades coming soon.

Today, we’re looking at the data behind the headlines. David Widmar, managing partner at Agricultural Economic Insights, breaks down trends in the farm economy to help producers and others in the industry align with the current market conditions. One of the headlines we discuss today: How do data centers or renewable energy arrays fit in the ag landscape? The U.S. agricultural land market is entering a period of “cooling,” Widmar explains. While land values remain stable for now, he warns that a combination of high interest rates and tightening profit margins may soon force a market adjustment. Stakeholders weigh the rising demand for renewable energy against shifting economic realities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The agricultural land market demonstrates remarkable resilience in early 2024, despite ongoing concerns about tariffs, interest rates, and commodity price fluctuations. In this information-packed episode, we dive deep into current farmland trends with special guest Jim Rothermich, "The Iowa Land Guy," who tracks every land auction in Iowa and provides crucial market insights.Rothermich reveals that Northwest Iowa continues to see premium farmland prices exceeding $20,000 per acre, driven primarily by local producers rather than outside investors. This producer-dominated market reflects the strategic importance of land acquisition beyond simple ROI calculations—farmers recognize that expansion opportunities may be once-in-a-lifetime chances. Despite rising interest rates reducing the buyer pool somewhat, most transactions still involve significant cash positions from farmers with strong balance sheets.The conversation shifts to recent auction results across several states, showcasing the tremendous range in current land values. From recreational properties selling for $3,800/acre in Pembina County, North Dakota, to premium farmland reaching $12,500/acre in Brown County, Minnesota, and multi-parcel offerings near Moorhead bringing $9,600/acre, the market demonstrates continued strength across diverse property types.Hosts Steve Link and Andy Murdock share exciting details about upcoming auctions, including a 3,000-acre ranch property in Golden Valley County and a unique 840-acre offering near Custer State Park in South Dakota featuring parcels with direct views of Mount Rushmore. The episode provides valuable perspective on market trends, buyer motivations, and what both sellers and purchasers should consider in today's dynamic land market.Discover why agricultural real estate continues to attract strong interest despite economic headwinds, and gain insights that could help you make more informed decisions about your land assets.
