According to Statistics Canada, the average price of farmland rose 22.7 per cent over five years. “The market value of owned land, buildings and fixed equipment increased by 19.1 per cent from 2016, to $420.9 billion in 2021,” says Statistics Canada. Verkley explained that the financial assessment model farmers use to determine costs and profitability of farmland would need to be re-evaluated today.
