Ron Haugen, NDSU Extension Service farm economist, has some items to note for your 2013 income tax preparation.

A survey indicates average cropland values dropped slightly (0.6 percent) during 2014.

Approximately 10,000 acres of additional cropland is estimated to be lost for every 1 foot rise in the level of Devils Lake.

Red River Valley farms saw a record high net farm income in 2012 plummet by 88 percent in 2013 and then by 79 percent in 2014.

A spreadsheet can help producers decide whether prevented planting is a viable option.

Household expenditures on North Dakota farms were about the same in 2013 and 2014.

Farm bill sign-ups were as expected.

All nine NDSU Extension-identified regions saw an increase in cropland values in 2025.
