Every year, the Texas Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers\u00a0publishes the Texas Rural Land Value Trends Report. \u00a0This publication, which comes out each April, looks at land prices across Texas, broken down into 7 regions\u00a0and then into several sub-regions. \u00a0It reports average rates for land sales as well as land rentals. \u00a0The publication also looks at how these rates have changed since the prior year, factors driving land prices, such as commodity prices and water availability, and reports on the most commonly planted crops in the region.<\/p>\n

As an example, for Region 1, which includes much of the Panhandle and South Plains, the report shows land value ranges and rental ranges for several classes of property: Irrigated cropland (good water); irrigated cropland (fair water); \u00a0dry cropland (east); dry cropland (west); rangeland; and Conservation Reserve Program. \u00a0Looking at Rangeland for the “North Panhandle” area, the report shows a rental range that has been stable with stable activity at $5-12 per acre, while the land value comes in at between $450 – $1,200\/acre. \u00a0For the same area, irrigated cropland with good water shows value ranges from $2,800 to $4,000 per acre, which are stable, and rental rates from $150-200 per acre, which are declining.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, oftentimes the best place to get accurate information about land values and rental rates by word of mouth in the area. \u00a0I always encourage folks to visit with their neighbors, with other landowners, with other livestock producers, and with their County Extension Agent when looking to determine the value of specific land in a specific area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
