Wendong Zhang, assistant professor, was cited in a Feb. 22, 2018 Successful Farming story "A Bad Year for Grain Farmers? All it Takes is Average Yields."
Zhang forecast that land values will hold steady or decline slightly in coming years. Low farm income and rising interest rates will weigh on bids for land. Farmland accounts for 80% or more of a farmer's assets, so changes in value can affect the owner's financial health.
