Selling farmland for respectable prices requires effort, diligence, and target marketing. It can be easy to assume your farmland will bring top of market pricing as-is, but presentation and information are important. Having information like historical crop rotation, verifiable yield history, accurate water right information (depending on location), easements, surveys, up-to-date taxes, and comparable sales all help potential buyers understand valuation. All the above can be overwhelming as a seller, but that is where finding a qualified farmland real estate broker/agent becomes so important.

You are paying them to help you maximize the value of your farm. You are the paying customer. Set expectations. Find the right fit. Do not be afraid to say no to the wrong fit. Good luck selling!
