Abstract: Since 2006, farm returns to cash rent farmland have been highly variable but have not exhibited a trend up or down. At the same time, cash rents have generally increased. As a result, there has been a shift with more of the returns accruing to owning the farmland rather than operating the farmland. That situation will likely continue until low financial returns necessitate a significant drop in cash rents.
