Farm Value

Author: Trent Adkins

Planning Unit: Pulaski County CES

Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy

Plan of Work: Natural Resources Awareness- NEW

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Describe the Issue or Situation. Resources, and other interested persons are in need of a reliable source of information for determining the value of agricultural land and cash rental rates for agricultural land. 

 

 Kentucky Agricultural and Natural Resource agents worked with Dr. Greg Halich from the Martin Gatton College of Agriculture Food and Environment, Agricultural Economics Department to collect information from landowners regarding existing cash rental rates for agricultural land and PVA offices, real estate agents, and individual landowners to ascertain current agricultural land values across the commonwealth.  

 

. Seventy  one Agents for Agriculture and Natural Resources  surveyed  individual landowners, farmers,  PVA s  and real estate agents/ auction companies from those counties represented.

 

Please note that the outcomes statement must use evaluation data to describe the change(s) that occurred in individuals, groups, families, businesses, or in the community because of the program/outreach. Seventy usable surveys were submitted to Dr. Halich. The information from those surveys will be compiled and used to update the publication AEC 97 Land Value and Cash Rent Survey. That publication will consist of aggregated information that will be broken into regions and sub regions so that persons utilizing the information can hone in on the specific region/sub-region  that they are interested in.
