The amount of available farmland for sale this year might be slim. “There’s going to be few buyers in the marketplace,” said Troy Swee, area sales manager, Farmers National Company. “With commodity prices down, these farmers are going to be sitting on their hands at some of these auctions.” Swee expects land prices to plateau over the next year. “If you’re thinking about selling properties in the next one-to-three years, now might be the time to pull the trigger.”
