MOORHEAD, Minn. — One of the region's ag land marketers says a Chapter 7 bankruptcy of a large specialty crop farmer in the northern Red River Valley has made farmers in the region take notice, but it should have a limited impact on the land and land rent markets. Kevin Pifer, owner and founder of Pifer's Auction and Realty, based in Moorhead, Minn., says the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of Ron McMartin Jr., in the St. Thomas, N.D., area could have some effect in his home area and in areas of concentrated farming in the Grand Forks and Fargo areas.
