Our Midwest state of Nebraska continues to demonstrate why it remains a cornerstone of Midwest farmland performance. According to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s latest survey, the statewide all‑land average value sits at $3,905 per acre in 2026, a modest 1% decline from the previous year. This marks the second consecutive year of slight softening after Nebraska reached a record high in 2024.
Survey respondents point to lower commodity prices, higher input costs, and elevated interest rates as the primary pressures on land values. Even so, Nebraska’s market remains resilient, with grazing land and hayland values rising 4–7% statewide, supported by strong cattle prices and competition for pasture. Irrigated and dryland cropland values saw small declines, generally between 1–3% depending on land class and region.
