Where are farmland values headed?



Harry Stimson
Anybody's guess. Things look like they are getting out of control in the financial world with all things pointing down. But still lots of money in the countryside. Land may still be a safe haven.

Our Reply: Harry has been involved with farmland real estate along time. Valuable insight!

Operation Twist

The Federal Reserve released its policy statement as the closing bell was ringing in the grain pits. The statement emphasized the significant downside risk that remains in the U.S. economy. As for policy, the Fed will implement Operation Twist as expected, which means that it will sell $400 billion in short-term bonds that it currently owns between now and the end of next June, while reinvesting those funds in longer-term bonds. The objective is to "twist" the yield curve to pressure long-term interest rates lower to stimulate the mortgage market.

Bt Resistance

Cornell University researchers have identified how cabbage looper caterpillars in the field develop resistance to the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which naturally occurs in the soil and on plants and has been developed into a successful and widely used biological insecticide.

Organic farmers use Bt as a key weapon against insects, and crops genetically engineered with insecticidal Bt genes are now sown on more than 145 million acres worldwide. When ingested, the insecticidal toxins in Bt kill insects by destroying their guts. Some insects such as cabbage loopers develop resistance to Bt via a genetic mechanism that alters a toxin receptor in the insect's gut, two Cornell University researchers have discovered.
