    Land Values, Leasing and Ownership with Robin Reid KSU

    On this episode of DocTalk, Dr. Dan Thomson sat down with Robin Reid, an extension farm economist from Kansas State University, to discuss critical issues affecting farmers and ranchers today—land values, leasing, and ownership. As land markets experience significant shifts, driven by both agricultural and non-agricultural interests, understanding these dynamics is crucial for the profitability and sustainability of farming and ranching operations. Over the past decade, land values have seen dramatic fluctuations, with notable spikes during periods of high commodity prices and government relief payments. However, the landscape is evolving, with non-agricultural buyers—such as investors and recreational land users—playing an increasingly influential role in driving up prices. This trend has made it more challenging for producers, especially young ones, to secure land and maintain or expand their operations. Reid highlights the growing complexity of land ownership as the current generation of farmers and ranchers begins to retire. With a significant portion of land transitioning to the next generation, who may not reside on or even near the farm, the dynamics of land leasing and ownership are becoming more complicated. This shift has also led to an increase in absentee landowners, making it harder for local farmers and ranchers to establish the trust-based relationships that have historically underpinned land leases. Moreover, the conversation touched on the topic of foreign land ownership, a subject that has generated considerable public interest and concern. Reid provided valuable insights, clarifying that while there is some foreign ownership, the majority of what is often reported as "foreign-held" land in Kansas is tied to wind and solar energy leases, not outright ownership. This distinction is important for understanding the true extent of foreign influence in the U.S. agricultural land market. As land values and lease rates continue to rise, and with ownership patterns shifting, the future of land access for farmers and ranchers looks increasingly challenging. Reid advises producers to focus on building strong relationships with landowners and to be prepared for ongoing changes in the land market. Whether you're a seasoned rancher or a newcomer to the agricultural world, this episode of DocTalk is packed with essential information that could help you navigate these complex and evolving issues. Stay informed and prepared for the future by understanding the factors that influence land values, leases, and ownership in the farming and ranching industry.
