                 2010 NEW YORK STATE LEVEL LAND VALUES AND CASH RENTS


	The Land Values Survey and Cash Rents Survey were conducted March through June 

of 2010.  State level estimates were made for Land Values and Cash Rents while county level 

estimates for Cash Rents will be available in September 2010. 

       The U.S. farm real estate value, a measurement of the value of all land and buildings on 

farms, averaged $2,140 per acre on January 1, 2010, up 1.4 percent from 2009.  New York 

farm real estate value average per acre of $2,400 was equal to last year.  The New York 

cropland average value per acre increased from $2,200 last year to $2,300 in 2010.  New York 

pasture average value per acre was $1,050, even with last year. 

       Nationally, cash rents per acre paid to landlords for cropland in 2010 rose $3.00, while 

pasture rents remained unchanged.  New York cropland cash rent per acre decreased slightly 

from $44.00 in 2009 to $43.50 in 2010.  Pasture cash rent per acre was not disclosed due to 

confidentiality rules.  Cash Rent county estimates will be released in mid-September 2010.
