Valco: 2010-2013 Ag Land Values Study - Southwestern Ontario Counties

In 2013, agricultural land values continued to increase substantially over 2012 land values, with the average rate of increase across the 10 Counties being approximately 22%-25%. This rate of increase is very similar to the rate of increase on land values since 2010, when land values in Southwestern Ontario began to increase at historic levels. This 20%-30% per year increase since 2010 is extremely significant, given the long term increase in agricultural land values is generally in a range of 3%-7%. The Counties with the largest average annual increases since 2010 are Bruce County, Lambton County and Elgin County in a range of approximately 27%-38% per year.

The County Divisions with the largest average annual increases since 2010 are Elgin East, Huron North, and Lambton North in a range of approximately 32%-36%. Some of the highest per acre sales in 2013 were in a range of $20,000 to $25,000 per tillable acre.

Take a Quantitative Approach to Assigning Territories

Veteran consultant shares data-driven methodology for sales departments Dr. Jim Weber, veteran consultant in the farm and construction equipment industry, identifies territory assignment as a core tactical activity that increases wholegood sales. Rather than treating sales territories as geographical boundaries or a route for sales reps to drive around, Weber presents a mathematical approach to defining, segmenting and staffing territories based on market data, customer value and call capacity math.  “I don’t care if the territories are geographical. I don’t care how they are,” he says. “But we have to assign the territory. We have to have territories for these individuals.”  By replacing guesswork with real data, dealership leaders can transform sales reps from passive into proactive people who manage their assigned market potential.  The Trade Area Formula  The foundation of Weber’s territory model is built on calculating the market size within a dealership’s geographical boundari
