September 2017 Wallace’s Farmer “MarektPlace Extra”
The Iowa farmland market is showing signs of strength as we enter the fall harvest season. As reported in August, land sales activity (the number of farms for sale and sold) is likely to pick up following harvest. The strongest values continue to be for top-quality farms with the most productive soils, solid fertility and drainage, and high ‘farm-ability’ (e.g., large and square fields, not an abundance of point rows, waterways/creeks/obstructions).
