Distinction With Out A Difference President Hearst Says
Charles I Hearst president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation said recent Iowa farm sales at high prices are not representative of the state. Isolated cases show prices of 260 dollars an acre or more where buyers seek land for specific purposes. He notes often land itself costs around 75 dollars an acre once improvements are deducted. Over the past year more than 1000 well improved town farms sold under the hammer for no more than 185 dollars an acre.
