National Land Realty Land Broker and Director of Auction Services, Jeramy Stephens, appeared on RFD-TV to discuss why farmer sentiment has slipped as many producers brace for another year of losses. Stephens noted that high input costs, tighter margins, and uncertainty in global commodity markets are weighing on confidence, leading many to draw comparisons to the challenges of the 1980s.

Even so, he emphasized that today’s farmland values remain comparatively resilient and that understanding local market dynamics is critical for making sound decisions. He advised landowners to stay current on regional land values, maintain close relationships with lenders and trusted advisers, and align buy/sell/hold choices with clear short and long-term goals.
