Longtime Midwest land broker Dennis Reyman of Stalcup Agricultural Services, examines who is really buying farmland in 2026 and why 70 to 80 percent of purchases still come from farmers within a 6 to 10 mile radius. Reyman also breaks down why livestock-intensive areas are driving $20,000-plus per acre sales, how quality differences are widening price gaps, and what renewable diesel, E15, and South American crop competition could mean for land values going forward.
