Thank You!

Words can’t express all my gratitude to my husband, family, friends and the Avera staff for the care and love I received while in the hospital. The Lord sent me an Angel, Allie, my main nurse who was so loving and caring to help me through my rough times. All of the staff were wonderful and I’m sure don’t get enough credit for all they do. Thank you to all the calls, text, visits, flowers and especially the prayers. You all along with the Lord’s help got me back home. God bless all of you. Love you all, Sandy Harris

Questions continue to be presented to us about the strength of the land market, it has been our observation that the land market remained very strong throughout 2024, achieving record or near record prices in many instances. A big part of the equation as to why land values remain strong, is that in most areas there continues to be an inadequate supply of land available for purchase. At the close of 2024 we witnessed that many land buyers remain "Sold on the Market" – especially those that had strong equity positions, as there remain many individuals that are anxious to invest in agricultural land as a safe haven for investment of their dollars. Even throughout periods of increased interest rates in 2024, the land market continued to “Defy Gravity” and performed at near record and in some cases at record levels. One key factor remains – That being that the economic theory of “Supply and Demand” remains in full force & effect, as it appears that there continues to be an unbalanced demand for high quality cropland, as there seems to remain a greater supply of qualified buyers in the marketplace, than there is land available for purchase

AS FOR 2025 – Going forward, paramount factors including supply and demand, interest rates, other economic trends and influences, commodity prices for grain and livestock, crop production, farm operating expenses, weather and other extenuating circumstances will influence land values in 2025 and beyond. In our opinion, in the near term we are guardedly optimistic that land values will continue to remain strong as we begin 2025. Land sale results in 2024 achieved some “Record & Near Record Highs” in many instances, rivaling values achieved in 2023 and previous years. Especially noteworthy sales included Our 2024 “Top 15” Including –
