A real estate appraiser says lower interest rates could spark more demand for pastureland in 2026.

Bonnie Downing with Agri Affiliates says the majority of her clients had to use a significant amount of cash on hand in 2025. “They didn’t want to borrow that kind of money. They take that into their cost of production. The interest is a large player in trying to make ends meet.”
