The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland has carried out a report on land prices.
They say the option of remote working has led to more people buying small farms.
A new report predicts farmland prices will rise by 6 per cent nationally this year.
A review of prices last year showed averages ranging from 5 to 10 thousand euro an acre.
James Lee, Chair of the SCSI's Rural Agency Committee will be speaking at the launch of our 2022 SCSI/@teagasc Agricultural land report at this Wednesday's conference.

Kildare has retained its position as the county with the most expensive land in the country.
It costs 15-thousand euro an acre, which is an increase of 13 per cent on 2020.
James Lee is from the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland.
He says more people now see running a small farm as a viable option since the pandemic.
"It's the good quality land in areas like Limerick and Tipperary," he said.
"Rural areas that people can work from home and have that small holding, that's certainly evident."
