Farmland Auctions

  1. Selling Farmland at Auction

     Iowa farmland continues to set record prices at public auction. In fact, Iowa farmland values overall increased 22% during 2007, and additional 14% appreciation during 2008. In 2009 and 2010 values are still well above the 10 year average. There is currently a very strong demand for farmland throughout the state for many reasons including: high commodity prices, investment opportunities, and larger farm operations.
