Of immeasurable value to lenders, agricultural economists, and a
host of agribusinesses this unique volume brings together leading
farmland authorities in the United States and Canada to examine the

in land values.
As the most basic factor of production in the agricultural
enterprise, farmland dominates the agricultural balance sheet,
accounting for an average of 70% of all agricultural assets. The
authors of this timely book provide expert analysis and review of
this subject.
