Farmland Prices In Iowa For September 2019
Similar to our August report on farmland sales, prices have continued to remain on a steady track. In September, tillable land values were sitting above the trend line and continue to look positive in terms of future growth into October!
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 September 2019 saw a slight decrease from the month of August to $104.31, across all 80% tillable farms sold at auction in Iowa.
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 $8,216.17 per tillable acre of farmland in September 2019. The monthly average is now on an increase from August prices. Tillable land for the month of October is above the 6-month trend line, which has steadily increased since the beginning of the year.
