Keeping Up With The Market

Friday, August 12th, 2011

We recently released our newest edition of our Land Facts newsletter.  What will you find in this version?

  1. The Farmland Fire Still Burns – John Moss gives his take on the current state of the farmland market.  Also, he analyzes some factors that both buyers and sellers should keep an eye on in the upcoming months and years. Is now the time to be a buyer or seller?  We discuss in more detail in the article.
  2. Loranda and Social Media – In this article, we discuss the various ways that Loranda is using social media as a way to keep our clients up to date with all the happenings in the farmland market.  Whether it is us tweeting the results of a recent farmland sale or uploading a video from our most recent auction, we offer a wide range of timely information to keep you informed.
  3. Lease Information – It is that time of year again for landlords to start thinking about lease termination.  With most buyers placing a premium on a farm with an open lease status, it is important to know what steps to take to make sure your lease is properly terminated.

THE POLITICS AND ECONOMICS OF FARMLAND

Monday, July 20th, 2009

It’s not often that we get heated phone calls regarding the content of our company newsletter.  That said, apparently the lead article in our July 2009 LandFacts, where I discussed the effects of government policy on farmland values, got a few people riled up.  One caller to our office stated… “Kudos to Mr. Moss for an article magnificently written and well done.  He spoke to a minority of us – he has our support.”  A second caller saw things differently “Mr. Moss is obviously some right-winger intent on undermining our government.” Wow – I didn’t know that the farmland topic could be so controversial!

For those who took the time to carefully read the whole article, you will note that I never singled out any individual or political party.  In fact, I think the blame for our current economic mess should be spread on both sides of the political aisle. In addition, the thrust of the article was about economic issues and not political ones (it never ceases to amaze me how people can read into something whatever they want).  The bottom line and my point – government action can alter the landscape of an entire industry and the farmland asset is not immune to these forces.

Now I know what Grandma meant when she said… “unless you want to get a fight started, never talk about religion and politics”…  Agree? Disagree? Send your thoughts to loranda@loranda.com
