In a recent interview on RFD-TV, National Land Realty’s Director of Licensing and Compliance, Jeramy Stephens, discussed the primary factors influencing farmland market values as landowners look toward the year ahead. Stephens emphasized that water availability has become a critical driver of land value, particularly in regions where reliable irrigation and water sources are essential for crop productivity. He noted that correctly pricing property is a top priority for landowners right now, as buyers and producers are increasingly scrutinizing a farm’s long-term sustainability regarding resource access.

Beyond environmental factors, Stephens addressed how trade policy and general economic uncertainty are creating pressure on the market. Concerns over producer profitability and shifting trade dynamics can weigh on buyer confidence, yet he observed that the market remains resilient with steady activity from both agricultural producers and long-term investors.
