The national dairy farm median price hit a record $2,707,500 in April, up on the March median price of $2,500,000 and more than $760,000 higher than the April 2004 median of $1,940,000.But while dairy farm prices went from strength to strength, the national farm median price for April slipped to $910,000, from $952,500 in March and $950,000 in April last year.
REINZ vice president Murray Cleland said the rising dairy farm prices reflected the strength of the dairy industry.
"The strong dairy industry returns, despite fluctuations in the milk fat price and the impact of the strong New Zealand dollar, have been sustained for more than a decade and this is attracting a lot of buying interest from both investors as well as dairy farmers moving to buy their second and their third farms," he said in a statement.
