  7. How Did We Get Below $4.50 Last Time?

  8. Land Prices at $4.50 • There is a strong correlation between land sales prices and price but it is not less than 70% • There are other factors that influence price; one of the major ones is the prevailing attitude. A major drop in corn prices may have a greater impact than just the percentage drop would indicate.

  9. Land Prices at $4.50 • The correlation coefficient between land sales price and profit has averaged 60% between 2005 and 2012. • If these relations hold and a 25% decrease in price led to a 25% decrease in profits then land values should drop 15% or $1,260 an acre • But,

  10. Land Prices at $4.50 • Drop in commodity prices not exactly proportional to drop in profits • Drop in commodity prices will have psychological impacts that could exasperate the decreases • Land values will drop but it will be more like a tire with a nail than a bubble bursting • Predicting how much they will drop is an inexact art
