Abstract
How farmland is valued has major implications for the measurement of agricultural productivity and for the financial viability of the farm sector. This study examines the relative effects of productivity and urban growth on farmland values using spatial data. The results suggest that the land stock in the current productivity accounts includes urban pressures not related to productivity.
