FROM THE PUBLISHER

TOP PRODUCERS

Just returned from the National Land Conference in Tucson. I’m happy to report that the business of buying and selling land in the US has never looked brighter, especially given the turbulence in equity markets. As always, The Land Report sponsored the RLI APEX Awards program, which recognizes the excellence and performance of the best in the business. 2025 marked the eighth year of the RLI APEX Awards; I’m proud to say that the Magazine of the American Landowner has sponsored it since day one. This year, RLI members submitted a record 255 applications totaling more than $8.9 billion in qualifying transaction volume. This eye-opening figure included 9,255 transaction sides and more than 1.2 million acres sold.
