Be sure to listen to Episode 01 – ‘Selling Farm Land: Why CLHbid.com, What Was Broken & Early Days’ as Roy & Alle Carter explain why CLHbid.com was started and how it is different from realtors and auctioneers.
Valuing farmland isn’t as straightforward as it seems—and when it comes to traditional appraisals, the numbers often don’t add up. In this episode of The Farmland Exchange Podcast, host Devon Davidson is joined by Roy Carter, CEO of CLHbid.com, and Alle Carter, member of the legal and executive teams at CLHbid.com, to break down the complexities of farmland valuation.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
✅ Why valuing farmland is uniquely challenging – what factors make it different from other real estate?
✅ Why traditional appraisals don’t work for agricultural land (and the pitfalls of title-acre-based valuations).
✅ How surface lease revenue (SLR) affects land value – can we quantify its impact, especially when expiration looms?
✅ The power of aggregation – why producers pay a premium for larger assemblages of land and whether there’s a formula to determine that added value.
If you’ve ever wondered why two seemingly identical parcels of farm land can fetch wildly different prices, or why traditional valuation methods fall short in the agricultural sector, this is the episode for you.
