Peoples Company proactively works to anticipate the needs of those in the agricultural sector and has co-authored two white papers: Socially Responsible Farmland Investment and Your Farmland and the Future, and contributed to another: Understanding the Effect of Organic Certification on U.S. Farmland Rental Values.
Socially Responsible Farmland Investment
Dr. Mike Duffy and Steve Bruere
This thought-provoking paper asserts that changing demographics is driving a trend by next-generation landowners to manage for appreciation and create sustainability through socially responsible farming.
Your Farmland and the Future
Teresa Opheim and Steve Bruere
With around 10% of all farmland changing hands in the next few years, farm succession planning is no longer optional, it’s essential. The future of farmland ownership is set to look very different in the coming years.
Understanding the Effect of Organic Certification on U.S. Farmland Rental Values
Erin Leonard and Ryan Koory
Mercaris surveyed 109 certified organic landowners and renters across the country, concentrated in the Corn Belt and East Coast, about their cash rental values to determine if certified organic land values differed from conventional land values within these regions.
Resource Stewardship Planning
Farm Journal in Partnership with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service
The planning process — starting small but knowing where you’re going — is the bedrock of a farm’s commitment to soil and water conservation. 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.
2020 National Land Values Report
Bruce Sherrick and Peoples Company
There are very few reliable sources of data to compare land values across the country. As the financialization of farmland picks up steam, the need to evaluate various regions and asset types in agriculture is becoming more important than ever.
