The article focuses on a swine farm using a new production model.

"Yes, the Farmland Market is Shifting, But That Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Prices Are Falling"Assistant Professor Rabail Chandio was quoted in the AgWeb article "Yes, the Farmland Market is Shifting, But That Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Prices Are Falling." The article examines factors that are impacting US farmland prices. Chandio said that "As we are coming out of the pandemic highs with high government payments no longer there, with high farm income no longer supporting the land value, the market began to soften in 2023. What we’ve already experienced is a whole year of softening and then maybe slight falling of land values in certain parts of the of the state as well."

US Farm Report 09/21/2024Assistant Professor Rabail Chandio and Associate Professor Bobby Martens were interviewed on the latest episode of Farm Journal's US Farm Report. When questioned about the logistics of the upcoming US crop harvest, Martens said "A big crop coming through. The whole logistics system--meaning the inventory piece of it and the transportation piece of it--is going to be full, it's going to be stressed. We expect to be able to manage it, but we'll be managing it in different ways, especially with the carryover that we have, we already have some storage being used." Asked if Iowa's land market is softening, Chandio said "Definitely. As we are coming out of the pandemic highs--with the high government payments no longer there, with the high farm incomes no longer supporting the land value--the market already began to soften in 2023. So we've already experienced a full year of softening and maybe slight falling of land values in certain parts of the state as well."
