pasture: Farmland Values: Is the Sky the Limit? - 10/19/11 03:00 PM

But things have not been so boring in Iowa where farmland values have given way to huge prices in corn country this month. Record prices of over $16,000 per acre this week.

pasture: Kansas Farmland, Cropland, and Pasture Values still gaining - 09/15/11 06:59 PM
The pace of slowed somewhat but the farmland values in Kansas are still going higher according to Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City survey. The fed says that severe drought and higher input costs have slowed the land values and increase were moderate for the second quarter compared to previous values.

Below is two charts showing the differences in the numbers that were listed in the 2010 report vs. how they are listed in the 2011 report. It certainly effects the percent change in land values with the different … (0 comments)
