Farm Credit Canada’s latest Farmland Values Report indicates that Canadian farmland continued their steady ascent in 2025.
The provinces were significant contributors to this growth: Manitoba led with 11.2% rise, followed by Alberta at 6.6%, Saskatchewan matching the national average at 6.0%.
In Alberta’s Peace region, encompassing north of Edmonton, farmland values rose by 6.6%.
Despite trade uncertainties and high input costs, demand for farmland remained robust, driven by long-term confidence in the agriculture sector and limited land availability.
However, this upward trend poses challenges new into agriculture, as rising land prices can be a barrier to entry.
