Mercator MarketVu is a subscription-based dataset—initially available for Illinois—which offers unique insight into current cash rent market rates. In contrast to opinion-based surveys which often under report lease rates due to the influence of legacy leases and other factors, MarketVu offers a timely quantitative, fact-based tool for uncovering the true market rent for your land by tracking the rates farmers pay for land during competitive bid offerings. Mercator MarketVu includes:

· Rent bid date

· Current rent rate

· Prior rent rate

· Rental rate percent change

· Lease Term (Years)

· Parcel Location (County)

· Productivity metrics (to compare the productivity of land in our report to your land)

The Illinois report currently includes rent rates for more than 80 competitive-bid leases in 39 counties. Click here for subscription information.
