Rising value of farmland sees investors return to market

With the increasing levels of investment in farmland by those who are not farmers, Ireland is also seeing a rise in the numbers of tenant farmers.
During the Celtic Tiger years, the investor was everywhere in the rising market and investors are increasingly present – possibly more than ever before.
The difference this time, however, is that where in the past, investments were into a rapidly rising market, today’s investor in agricultural land in Ireland is more likely to be someone looking for the longer gain rather than the quick profit.
