Have you checked out this year’s Farm Credit Can Have you checked out this year’s Farm Credit Canada (FCC) latest report on farmland values? ⁠ ⁠ Farmland has been getting more and more expensive over the last decades, and is now nationally the least affordable it has been since 1983. Limited availability of farmland and high demand both contributed to a 9.3% increase in farmland values, and farm revenue has not risen to keep pace with these rising costs. These trends reflect a growing barrier for farmers – particularly new and young farmers. ⁠ ⁠ Landholders, if you have extra space to share with a farmer, there’s no better time to make it available through the B.C. Land Matching Program. Reach out to bclmp@youngagrarians.org to discuss leasing your land or to explore land opportunities available for lease in B.C.⁠ ⁠ To learn more about the FCC report, check out this article at the link in our bio or head to https://www.fcc-fac.ca/en/knowledge/economics/canadian-farmland-affordability⁠ ⁠ #bclandmatchingprogram #bclmp #growbc #bcagri
