University of Illinois agricultural economists Dr. Gary Schnitkey and Dr. Nick Paulson invite you to a webinar focused on farmland values and rental agreements for the 2026 production year. They will present an overview of the current state of Illinois farmland values and rents and discuss the factors which will impact values and rent negotiations for 2026. The webinar will incorporate and rely on data from USDA, IL FBFM, and professional farm managers in Illinois to provide a range of perspectives. This session aims to equip both landowners and farmers with knowledge to navigate rent negotiations in a challenging farm economy.
