“When do you think farmland prices are going to correct?” is a question posed to me recently. My answer was, “I do not know a single farmer who is trying to give back land that they have purchased recently, and most are still interested in acquiring more.” This question was asked specifically about farmland prices in Alabama and Mississippi, states where I am a licensed broker.

Earlier this year I was burned badly by an exception I made to my personal rule of having all sellers I work with sign an exclusive listing agreement to market and sell their property.
