LAND MARKET UPDATE

The agricultural land market across eastern Colorado, western Nebraska, and western Kansas continues to show resilience, largely due to limited land inventory for sale. Most of the land currently on the market is a result of the “6 D’s”: Death, Debt, Divorce, Dissolution, Dysfunction, and Done. However, with lower commodity prices, higher operating costs, ongoing global uncertainty, and current drought conditions, there are emerging signs of market softening. Buyers are becoming more discerning, particularly with less desirable properties, while there is strong demand for high-quality properties. Solid beef demand continues to support grass and ranchland values. For those considering selling in the coming year, it will be important to set realistic expectations and pricing.

2025 Results

This last year we were blessed to have sold over $74 million of ag real estate by auction and private treaty. The properties sold included pivot irrigated, dryland, ranches, pasture, water rights, and CRP. Please review the properties we currently have for sale and some of the properties we sold. If you are considering selling and/or buying, please call us.

A Thought on Youth Savings & Investing

We encourage families to explore ideas that help young people save and learn to invest early — these can be vital tools for helping future generations reach goals like college or land ownership. See article on “Trump Accounts.”

Support for Nebraska Fire Relief

The recent wildfires in Nebraska burned more than 800,000 acres and displaced over 35,000 cows. Many families suffered devastating losses. If you’re able, please consider donating to reputable relief organizations supporting those affected.

Thank you for your trust, partnership, and friendship over the past 35 years. We hope you’ll celebrate with us on June 17!
