He points to work by Owen Taylor of Iowa State University that suggests next year's climate conditions, courtesy of La Ni a, could result in a dramatic decline in crop yields. This could actually help farmers by tightening supply, thereby driving prices up. If prices do not increase during the next year and supplies remain abundant, Moss says a large market correction will cast doubt on short-term prospects. Both Anderson and Moss say there is no real cause for alarm. Long-term farmland investment remains a good prospect.
Agricultural land is always a good solid investment.
The future is as bright as it has always been. Online asked whether people think farmland or the stock market is a better long-term investment. Anderson points to a possible reason for the poll results. But things took off. We've reached this level faster than I think we should have.
