The Irony of the Inflation Reduction Act for the Farmland Asset Class
Dave Muth, PhD
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) was signed and became public law on August 16, 2022. There has been no shortage of political debate around whether the law would serve its namesake and broadly reduce inflation. However, it is clear the long-term policy objectives laid out in the IRA, if realized, will have significant inflationary impacts on the farmland asset class.

Teresa Opheim and Steve Bruere

Everything in this guide is focused on providing a path to address a problem or helping you make progress on a goal — whether that involves cropland, associated agricultural land, pasture, or livestock facilities.
