Despite tight credit and shaky economic signals, farmland values across the Midwest continue to hold firm.
In Q1 2025, Minnesota land values rose 3%, with even sharper gains in the Dakotas. That's according to new data from the Chicago Fed and Farm Progress.
Even in a high-interest-rate climate, soil that's managed well is holding its value — and in some cases, gaining ground.
Treat your soil like your most valuable asset and it will keep giving back. Litter-based fertility, cover crops, and reduced passes don't just grow this year's yield — they protect your land's long-term value.
