Farmland values surge, spotlighting two publicly traded farmland REITs
Farmland value averaged $4,350 per acre in 2025, up 4.3% year over year, according to USDA data cited in the article.
Farmland real estate values have jumped nearly 40% since 2020, with average farmland reaching $4,350 per acre in 2025, up 4.3% from the prior year, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data highlighted by Yahoo Finance. The article says farmland offers a steady path to appreciation, alongside income for investors through REIT structures, which own and operate real estate and related assets that generate cash flow. It also notes economists have pointed to limited correlation between REIT returns and broader stock market moves, which the outlet frames as a potential stabilizer for portfolios that also include more volatile assets. According to Yahoo Finance, there are only two publicly traded farmland REITs as of summer 2026: Farmland Partners and Gladstone Land. Farmland Partners trades on the NYSE, while Gladstone Land trades on the Nasdaq, and both own and lease farmland for production.
