Land Report August 2013 Newsletter

One of the focal points of our August Newsletter is the continued interest in land as a productive asset, especially given the solid returns investors have been realizing. So many drivers are powering this upswing: lackluster yields in the bond market, America’s resurgent energy portfolio, and of course the global demand for U.S. foodstuffs are a few that immediately come to mind.
Now comes the news that the 2013 U.S. corn crop will be the largest on record: a massive 13.8 billion bushels, which equates to a 5 percent leap over the previous best. Is it any wonder that more and more ag properties are coming to market?
