Investment and Land Markets Perspective

Chuck Zimmerman

It was a morning of economics at the AgroNomics Conference. Michael Swanson, Senior VP/Agricultural Economist and Consultant, Wells Fargo & Company, tackled the subject of “U.S. & Global Perspective on Investment and Land Markets.”

Michael’s presentation provided producers and lenders with information that allowed them to better understand the drivers of the current global agricultural market. ASFMRA members were able to see how land valuation is not tied to nominal dollar valuations but true repayment capacity relative to alternative assets. I recorded his presentation for you to listen to and learn.
