Donnelle Eller reports:
Iowa farmland values dropped 2.2% over the past year as farmers struggle with low corn and soybean prices, high production costs and uncertainty around tariffs.
The REALTORS Land Institute's Iowa Chapter released a report Thursday, Sept. 11, showing the statewide average value declined to $10,371 per acre on all tillable land in the yearlong period ending Sept. 1. Values fell 1% from September 2024 to March and 1.2% from March to this September, based on a survey of about 150 Iowa agricultural land professionals.
Iowa farmland values in September ranged from $13,398 per acre for high-quality land to $7,378 for low-quality acreage, the report said.
Low prices for corn and soybeans are depressing farm incomes and pressuring farmland values, said Matt Vegter, a Hertz Farm Management real estate professional who led the group’s land value survey with colleague Rebecca Frantz.
