South Dakota agricultural land value is on the rise

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

South Dakota's farm land prices have been on the rise for a long time. Will that change anytime soon?

Not according to Kevin McNew, chief economist at the Farmers Business Network.

His organization polled its members on their intentions to buy or sell land. While many wish to purchase more land, high prices and inflation rates are keeping them out of the market.
