Amid the sinking values of offices and shopping centers, the value of farmland increased almost 9 percent in the past year according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service’s 2008 summary. The average cost of an acre stands at $2,350, a record high, and $190 higher than 2007. The average acre price has almost doubled since 2002. Despite a slowing economy, encroaching development continues to push farmland prices higher, particularly in the Northeast, which has the highest price per acre of any region.
