Iowa Farmland Prices April 16th-22nd

Welcome back to the Iowa Farmland Prices Report! Our cover photo this week is what farmers are hoping to see and do – planting! According to Successful Farming, the U.S. is currently at 7% corn planted this year compared with 15% for the previous five-year average. Soybeans are currently planted at 3%, compared with 5% for the previous five-year average. The end of this week doesn’t look promising for farmers to be out in the field in Iowa due to rain in the forecast. A few of our auctioneers in Western, IA saw planters out rolling this weekend.

The average of all farmland sales this week was $128.85 per CSR2 point which is considerably lower than the week before. The average price per acre was $8,593.67/acre and also lower than the week before. This is most likely due to the quality of the farms sold this week and fewer auctions.
