Iowa Farmland Sales Volume For 80% Tillable Farms
Farmland Prices In Iowa For June, 2019
Land prices over the past few months have remained fairly steady. June 2019 tillable land values are sitting right at the 6-month trend line and look to have potential for positive growth. Taking into consideration of the weather this season, the markets are right on track to where we would expect them to be at.
In addition to the weather not being ideal for planting this spring, the crops that did get planted could generate a lower yield come harvest. The crops were not planted as early as farmers would have hoped which leads to later pollination and harvest. Even though the 2019 crop may not produce record yields, the land prices are still looking positive in the months to come due to the rally of corn prices. The increase in corn prices are giving hope to those looking to sell farmland this coming fall, winter, or spring, and the land market should remain steady in the months to come.
Year-to-date trends and month-long trends can be found in the graphs below.
Average Price Per CSR2 Point For Iowa Farmland
The average price per CSR2 point in June 2019 increased to $102.80, across all 80% tillable farms sold at auction in Iowa. This is a slight increase from the previous month of May.
The CSR2 point rating is a measure of the soil’s productivity out of a scale of 100. It is important to remember that monthly variations depend on the quality of farms sold that month. A longer period of time such as six months to a year is the best representation of the price per CSR2 point.
Average Price Per Acre Of Tillable Farmland In Iowa
We saw an average price of $8,229.19 per tillable acre of farmland in June 2019. The monthly average is on a steady decrease for the two previous months of April and May. Tillable land for the month of June is above the 6-month trend line, which has steadily increased since the beginning of the year.
