It’s a seller’s market right now for anyone looking to divest themselves of Canadian farmland, pretty much across the country. That’s the word from Farm Credit Canada vice-president and chief agricultural economist, J.P. Gervais. And it may get snapped up even before it hits the market, with renters paying asking prices rather than letting it get away. In 2017, Saskatchewan led the way with a 10.2 percent annual increase in farmland value. Gervais notes that there are great variations in price changes between regions.
