Another real estate bubble just waiting to burst?...
Agricultural production and farmland loan balances at U.S. commercial banks have increased above and beyond pre-financial crisis levels, according to an analysis by SNL Financial.
Farmland lending has grown from over $52 billion in 2006 to over $72 billion at the end of last year, while ag production lending has grown just over 19% for the same period. Total bank loan portfolio lending rose 17.7% over the same period.
Farmland values have increased right along with farmland loan balances, so much so that many fear a farmland bubble in the works. The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City reports that "...crop land values posted year-over-year gains of more than 20% for the seventh consecutive quarter … ranch land values surged nearly 20%." The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago reports that the district's 2012 annual increase of 14% in agricultural land values was the third-largest increase in 35 years, after adjusting for inflation.
