Extract

In recent years, the topic of land prices has received considerable attention in the literature. Part of the interest stems from the importance of land as a factor of production in agriculture. Land prices have a direct influence on the ability of young farmers to operate and expand their operations. Thus, the interest in land prices by farmers, bankers and input suppliers is easily understood.
