Even in an age of sophisticated, worldwide communication and data sharing, opinion still carries “heavyweight” influence. Should your land be marketed, you need a solid reputation that will pass the scrutiny of local farmers and landowners. Their consensus on your property’s reputation will ultimately factor into the perceived income potential or capital value of your agricultural investment.
Property value is, after all, dictated by a given market’s expectation of production or potential, and is established by those willing to buy it. Potential buyers want to come to the table with some level of knowledge about your agricultural land.
A good source of information is local farmers with a firsthand view of your property, especially if the potential investor lives in another state or is not from a farming background.
