What's in store for land values and agriculture in 2025? Today is our quarterly conversation with Jackson Takach, Chief Economist and Vice President of Strategy, Research, and Analytics at Farmer Mac. For those who are unfamiliar with Farmer Mac, they are the secondary market for agricultural loans in the United States. Today, we discuss 2025 land markets, what a new presidential administration might mean for United States land values and agriculture, and progress on the farm bill.

Looking for the highest and best use of your land? Have you considered building an RV Resort? We talk a lot on this podcast about selling land, farms, ranches, and improvements for hunting land. This topic gets overlooked, and as we are about to find out, an RV Resort could be a very good option for landowners. Hillary Engler is the owner of Paradise Found RV Resort, in Theodore, Alabama. I’ve known Hillary for a while, but had no idea until we sat down to discuss this podcast that she was a co-founder of this unique business… and it had me researching the topic for the next week to see how I might build one.

Working in the outdoors is a prospect that is appealing to many, especially those who listen to podcasts like this one. Today we are talking about a professional vocation that lives, breathes, and works in the outdoors; park rangers. Shawn Llewellyn is a park ranger at Paris Mountain State Park in South Carolina. To be a park ranger, there are a lot of concessions to make, but for those who have a love for the land, they are concessions that are well worth it.

Dillon Smith is a land real estate agent out of Crescent, Oklahoma. We talked with Dillon about selling land 1 year ago. At the time, Dillon was a brand new agent. 1 year ago, we were laughing about how Dillon had acquired his first sales through other agents in the company and was scrapping his way to learn the ropes. In a short time, Dillon has cracked well inside our top 100 agents and is currently listing just shy of 20 Oklahoma properties. This is a chance to touch base and discuss his journey, discuss winter crop preparation, tell some hunting lies, and even talk about my fear of tornadoes and poisonous snakes.
