[Do you know what your farmland is worth? Unlock the free Illinois Farmland Values Report from the FBN® Research team today.] Fueled by high commodity prices and low interest rates, U.S. farmland prices increased at a record pace in late 2021 through the first half of 2022. The end of fall harvest ushers in the peak season of farmland buying and selling. Will farmland values continue to climb this year?  While it is impossible to forecast precisely how these factors will play out in future months, there are a few key trends in farmland values that will continue to shape the farmland marketplace. Increasing Farmland Valuation Trends: With high commodity prices and government payments augmenting farm income, American farmers had more cash savings available to buy more land, thus escalating farmland values.  Historically low interest rates for land loans enabled farmers to obtain larger loans to purchase more land.  Low interest rates for bonds and treasuries, which were below inflation, meant that those alternative investments were less attractive, while farmland as an investment asset quickly became more appealing for farmers. Current mortgage rates are still below inflation, which is typically associated with positive increases in farmland values. (See the Farmland at Risk: An FBN Special Report for more information on these trends.)  Persistently high inflation makes farmland an attractive hedge due to its historical capacity to increase value during inflationary periods.  Decreasing Farmland Valuation Trends:  Since the start of 2022, the Fed interest rate has increased from 0.08% in January to 3.08% in October. This is one of the sharpest interest rate increases in a generation.  Higher interest rates generally reduce the attractiveness, and therefore value, of any risk-based asset class as risk-free alternatives become more attractive from a return and price-to-earnings perspective.  Agricultural production costs have increased substantially, primarily mainly by higher fuel and fertilizer costs. (See the 2022 FBN Fall Fertilizer Price Transparency Report for more information on these price increases and related fertilizer usage trends).  High costs reduce farm profits, which could slow the upward momentum in farmland values.  Illinois as a State-specific Case Study Illinois farmland prices surged to record levels in 2021 and early 2022, with an above average volume of higher-quality parcels for sale in some regions. Across most of the state, the price of parcels with excellent-quality soil grew at a faster pace than parcels with lower-quality soils. This period also boasted a record-high farmland acreage sales volume, with many sales happening even with crops still standing in the field. Though it is still early, trends in the data from the first part of 2022 may signal what’s to come. To date in 2022, farmland sales volume on an acreage basis is lower than 2021 figures and closer to the average of previous years. That may indicate that farmland owners tempted to sell by high prices did so already, and volume is now returning to average levels. However, decreasing sales volume does not necessarily signal decreasing prices. In fact, sales for the first part of 2022 indicate a slight increase in farmland prices for lower quality soils and similar prices for high quality soils, using the Illinois Soil Productivity Index (ILPI) as a measure of relative quality.  This may indicate that earlier increases in farmland values have now spread to lower- and middle quality farmland. Importantly, observed trends vary significantly across the state. District-level analysis is essential for understanding how soil quality, yield, and farm production revenue shapes trends in farmland values.

As we approach the end of 2022 and look ahead to the upcoming 2023 season, now is the time to keep a few key financial considerations in mind.  1. 2023 Crop Year Planning   It’s never too early to start reviewing projected cash flows for the next crop year and making financial plans around those expectations. Strategizing your plan for the next year will enable you to start working proactively on a number of other financial actions on this list and be more prepared as you work on each of those items.  Getting your plan together early will also help you plan your future input purchases , implement hedging strategies, and understand how much working capital you will need for the upcoming season.  [STRATEGIZE: Get greater control of your crop input plan with the new FBN® Acre Pack online crop planning tool.] 2. Operating Loan Renewals & Interest Rates  Operating line renewals are just around the corner. In the current volatile environment, producers should be proactive in securing their lines of credit earlier. Input prices are still elevated and the need for a larger line of credit is very real this year, especially with the potential timing of purchases.  As producers renew and/or expand their operating lines, they should also keep a close eye on their interest rate and the structure of that rate. The Federal Reserve is anticipated to implement additional interest rate increases by the end of the year . This will have a direct impact on the borrowing rates of operating lines, so producers should consider getting rates locked in now. When working on your line of credit for the upcoming year, having your crop plan already put together will facilitate that process to ensure you get the borrowing capacity and flexibility you need from the start.  [LEARN MORE: Apply online to get your FBN approval decision instantly, with rates starting at 5.78%] 3. Evaluating Working Capital Needs and Risk Management Plans   Reviewing your working capital position is a constant on an operation. Cash is always king.  As we approach year’s end, it is important to know your working capital needs for the remainder of the year and going into the spring. Understanding your working capital needs and position allows you to make better informed decisions regarding input purchases and commodity sales.  Working capital also plays a key role in the evaluation and implementation of a risk management plan for the coming year. Depending on the risk management strategy you use, it can cause a strain on working capital. By this time, you have likely done your crop plan for the next year and have a good understanding of what your input costs will be if you haven’t already locked them in. Now it is time to figure out how you will protect your investment.  Understanding your cost of production will allow you to start making decisions around implementing your risk management plan.  [WATCH: Working Capital and Farm Risk Management] 4. Locking in Input Supply  Last year, we saw major challenges with the supply chain and producers being able to get their hands on supply. Being proactive and locking in supply early this year will be very important.  This applies not only to locking in prices, but also to securing deliveries and taking possession of products while they are readily available. Suppliers are also looking to lock in their supply this year, so working with them early will help in securing both a competitive price and the ability to guarantee a supply.  [LISTEN: Special FBN® Podcast: The State of the Global Supply Chain in 2021] 5. Tax Planning   With commodity prices at their current levels this year, many producers will want to be more proactive in their year end tax planning . Does it make sense to prepay input, defer income, make improvements, or upgrade equipment, for example?  Because every operation is different, it’s important to work with your accountant to plan for your operation’s unique situation. It is never too early to start having these conversations with your accountant and planning ahead.  [ READ: It’s Tax Season.

Based on initial survey-based U.S. corn and soybean yields, their results forecast U.S. corn yield to be 171.9 bushels and 49.8 bushels for soybeans. FBN®’s forecast was higher at 173 bushels per acre for corn but slightly lower for soybean bushels at 49.7.  This is down compared to 2021 yields of 177.0 bushels of corn 51.4 bushels of soybeans.  The USDA’s next report is slated for November 9, 2022 and will be the final report for the calendar year with next year’s yield estimates to be released on January 12, 2023.  Will yield increase or decrease compared to last month’s estimations?

Once again, the Federal Reserve has met to set rates. And once again, we have seen another rate hike increase of 75 basis points. Our FBN® experts predicted last week that farmers should brace for another increase in interest rates and to secure financing before it hits double digits . This is the fourth increase in less than 6 months.  As the Fed continues to try to quell economic instability in the coming months, global markets will continue to be impacted by the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe and rising inflation.  As interest rates continue to rise and the risk of recession looming in the near future, now is the time for farmers to evaluate their financing before rates hit double digits.  [Learn more about how the economic shocks of 2022 are affecting farmland values in our recent FBN Research report. Unlock the free report today .] What it means for farmers As the market continues to shift, we have been continually highlighting that Farm land real estate continues to be a good long-term investment for the time being. By locking in a rate now instead of 6 months from now, you’ll have a better chance to secure a lower rate.  As TJ Wilson, Director of Sales for FBN® Finance said last week, “As the line of credit renewal season looms, don't be surprised if you start to see rates in the double digits for operating lines. These rate increases will have an effect on the cash flow of operations year over year. You’re talking two and a half times the interest rate on some of these operating lines, if not three times, which makes a huge difference, especially given the price of inputs.” Looking back at how rates have increased in just the last year, it’s more important than ever to act now to secure financing. In just 12 months, we’ve seen rates more than double compared to where they were in October 2021.  And as the market continues to indicate that rates will increase, it’s a good time to think about locking in a 10-30 year fixed rate. If rates drop in the future, you may be able to refinance and prepay at a lower rate. Locking into a secure rate now may be a good investment for many farmers. Check out our competitive land loan and operating loan rates which offer flexible term options.  Looking forward While it’s hard to know where the market will be in 5 years, history has shown us that while rates are on the rise now, there will come a time when the yield curve starts to invert suggesting that rates will decrease in the future. “We are starting to see those longer term rates dip a little bit relative to shorter-term bonds. We're seeing a lot of people go with 5-year adjustable rates right now for that exact reason. They are anticipating that rates are going to be back down over the next few years and they're going to have an opportunity to refi on a longer term fixed and a lower rate,” says TJ Wilson.
