Land Value Estimating Program and Historic Revision Procedures

Estimates of agricultural real estate values are published annually using a variety of survey indicationsand check data. The agricultural census provides a benchmark for farm real estate values once every5 years. After a census benchmark is established, the annual estimates for the current census year andthe 4 previous non-census years are reevaluated and revised, if necessary.

Annual estimates are originally established using a combination of indications from NationalAgricultural Statistics Service (NASS) surveys and non-NASS check data. Within NASS, the JuneAgricultural Survey (JAS) provides dual survey indications for cropland, pasture, and farm real estatevalues. These indications include a per acre dollar value and a percent change indicator that measuresthe change in value from the previous year. The Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS)provides an additional indication of the per acre dollar value of farm real estate. Check data fromsources outside of NASS are provided by the Federal Reserve, county Farm Service Agency (FSA)county offices, and State or University sponsored surveys.

Estimates are published at the State, Regional, and U.S. level for farm real estate, cropland, and pasture. Farm real estate is defined as all land and buildings (including operator dwelling) used for agriculturalproduction. The value per acre for farm real estate applies to an average size farm, with an average setof buildings, and an average mixture of crop and pasture land. Cropland values apply to all land from which crops were harvested or hay cut; land in orchards,vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses; idle land normally used to grow crops, such as CRP and summerfallow; and any land that could have been used for growing crops without additional improvements. Pasture values apply to permanent pasture and rangeland, but excludes grazed land that may be used togrow crops.


Farm Real Estate Values Sustain Upward Trend

Nationally, farm real estate values, a measure of the value of all land and buildings on farms, averaged$1,270 per acre as of January 1, 2003. This was 30 percent above the January 1, 1998 estimate of$974 per acre established by the 1997 census. The National average farm real estate value has risenevery year since 1987, when values bottomed-out at $599 per acre following the 1980's farm financialcrisis.

Cropland and pasture values, which have been a part of the estimating program since 1997, each rose24 percent from January 1, 1998. Nationally, cropland values averaged $1,660 per acre and pasturevalues averaged $605 per acre on January 1, 2003, compared with $1,340 and $489 per acre,respectively, in 1998. The value of other land and buildings, an unpublished residual component thataccounts for the difference between farm real estate and its cropland and pasture components, rosesharply.

The increase in farm real estate, and its cropland and pasture components, was partially driven by lowinterest rates and poor returns for alternative assets. The certainty of government programs, especiallyfor major agricultural commodities, provided additional strength and stability for land values in manyareas. The potential for nonagricultural uses also contributed to strong increases, but effects due todevelopment potential were mostly confined to areas near growing population centers. Income from themarketing of crop and livestock commodities generally supported increasing land values. However,income variability, partly caused by extended periods of adverse weather, contributed to unevenappreciation of farm real estate values across States and regions.

From 1998 to 2003, the Lake region experienced the largest increase in farm real estate values, at57 percent. For the same period, the smallest increase in farm real estate values was a drought-limitedlow of 19 percent in the Northern Plains region. In the Appalachian and Southeast regions, where urbanand recreational influences are increasing, farm real estate values rose 38 and 34 percent, respectively. The highest farm real estate values are in the Northeast region, where urban influences drove the averagevalue to $3,200 per acre on January 1, 2003, a 40 percent increase from 1998. The Mountain region,with its expanse of pasture and rangeland, has the lowest farm real estate value, at $523 per acre.
