Chickasaw County takes top honors with a sale at $22,500/acre. Poweshiek County gets honorable mention with a sale at $19,000/acre. There were several strong sales this week.

Polk County tops the market this week with a sale at $38,000/acre. These tracts were transitioning from ag land to development on the fringe of Ankeny, which is part of the Des Moines metro.

Tommy Grisafi wants to know what’s going on in the Iowa land market. Listen in on ATI Pro Media as he visits with Jim Rothermich, “The Land Talker” and Iowa Appraisal’s ag expert, to find out!

Mills County tops the market with a sale at $13,500/acre. There were three “no sales.” Market conditions are adjusting to current economic conditions.

Topping the market this week is Jefferson County with a sale at $15,100/acre. Corn Prices did not have a good week. Grain traders are expecting high yields this fall, increasing the supply.

Mitchell County tops the market with a sale at $15,750/acre. Lots of heat in the forecast at the beginning of week and milder temps later. Crop is looking good.

Due to the 4th of July holiday, there are no auctions to report. Check out my latest interview with my friend, Tommy Grisafi:

Listen in as I speak with Andy Campbell on the Beyond the Hood podcast about my experiences in the appraisal industry, as well as tech and trends in land and machinery prices.

I want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July! Henry County tops the market this week with a sale at $15,300/acre. Honorable mention goes to Lee County with a sale at $14,500/acre. Please keep praying for people in northern Iowa recovering from all the flooding.

Sac County takes top honors this week with a sale at $20,000/acre. Please keep the people in northern Iowa in your prayers. They have had some extreme rain events the past several days and there are a lot of land and houses underwater.

Dallas County tops the market at $24,300/acre. June will be active for land auctions. Market conditions seem to be steady to trending lower.

O’Brien County tops the market with a sale bringing in $15,800/acre. Market conditions are cooling. The 2024 planting season is wrapping up.

May ends with not enough auction activity to test the market. We must get the 2024 planting finished up. I think a few good days of sunny weather is all we need.

There were two “no sales” this week indicating the market is still adjusting to current economic conditions. I am worried there could be a lot of re-plant this year with all the cool, wet weather. I am hearing there will be some preventive plant.

Not much is happening right now with land auctions, but things do pick up a little in June. Wishing the rain would slow a bit to get this crop planted then come back in July and August.

It was another week with not enough activity to test the market. Rain continues to slow planting, but hopefully we will get a run of good weather soon to finish it up. Check out my latest interview with my good friend, Tommy Grisafi: https://bit.ly/3yeClpw. We talked about April land market conditions and LandHero.us, a website which allows access to my real-time Iowa land sale data via subscription.

Sioux County keeps producing big results, this week with a $29,800/acre sale. However, there was still not enough auction activity to test the market. Rain is slowing the planting progress, though it is needed. A lot can get planted once things dry out.

There was not enough activity to test the market again this week, with four auctions. Wild weather brought rain over the weekend; the extended forecast indicates good planting weather ahead.
