Farmers favor renting land to expand ahead of planting season
Iowa farmers lean toward renting rather than buying more land as rental activity rises and land prices stabilize. Experts note higher cash rents, with increases up to 20 percent on low quality land and smaller gains on high quality land, while many growers seek to improve cash flow through leases, IRA use, and prepaying expenses.
