March 2017 Wallace’s Farmer “MarketPlace Extra”
Early this winter, the Iowa farmland market turned sideways with a slight uptick - a welcome respite from a downward trend that started in the spring of 2013. The strongest values within the market continue to be for high-quality farms (those with excellent soils and drainage), as well as for farms located adjacent to strong farmland owners. When it comes to farmland for sale, “who the neighbors are” can significantly influence the sale price.
