DETERMINING THE EFFECTS OF LAND CHARACTERISTICS ON FARMLAND VALUES IN SOUTH-CENTRAL IDAHO

Abstract

This study focused on evaluating the effects of different attributes that impact irrigated farmland values in South-central Idaho. Results indicate that study area farmland values are largely determined by agricultural productivity (profiability) related factors. However, estimated "development increment values" for parcels that seemed to be under development pressure in the study area are explainable by nonagricultural variables.Land Economics/Use,
