Farmland prices increases beat high inflation rate

Cultivated farmland values across Canada kept pace with inflation in 2022 with an average 12.2 per cent increase.

The annual Farm Credit Canada farmland values report notes the increase came “amid strong farm income, elevated input prices and rising interest rates.

“The demand for farmland remained robust and the supply of farmland available for sale continued to be strong.”

The report says farmland values usually take time to adjust to economic changes but record prices for most field crops maintained robust demand.

Saskatchewan farmland prices averaged 14.2 per cent increase last year with variation by region up to 50 per cent.

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
