Abstract

The 2025 ASFMRA FutureEd Forum brought together university instructors, ASFMRA chapter leaders, and practitioners to examine how farm and rural property appraisal is taught across U.S. colleges. Using instructor surveys, forum discussions, and case studies from three land-grant universities, this article documents the objectives, structure, and challenges of university-based appraisal instruction. These courses emphasize foundational appraisal concepts, including scope of work, ethics, highest and best use, and the income, cost, and sales comparison approaches, reinforced through project-based learning and strong support from local ASFMRA chapters. We highlight effective teaching practices and opportunities to strengthen collaboration between academia and the profession.
