The Fed said Friday that its survey of banks in the 10th district showed a 5.6 percent annual increase in the value of irrigated cropland and a 4.8 percent increase in non-irrigated land.
The biggest increases came in Kansas, where irrigated land values jumped 9.2 percent, and Nebraska, where irrigated land values increased 6.4 percent. Both states recorded a 6.6 percent increase in dryland values.
The Federal Reserve says demand for farmland remains strong from both farmers and investors.
