According to the FCC Farmland Values Report, the average value of farmland in Saskatchewan increased by 9.1% during the first half of 2012.

A recent RE/MAX report shows some Saskatchewan farmland prices increasing as much as 20% in last 12 months. Agcapita Farmland Fund's data supports RE/MAX's conclusion that farmland continues to appreciate strongly on the Canadian prairies.

The 2011 Census of Agriculture revealed higher Canadian farm revenues and an increase in farm size reflecting a continuation of the land consolidation trend in the industry.

Agcapita today released financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011.
