Iowa Farm Foreclosures Reach Corporate Holders Crossroads
Iowa faces a refinancing crossroads as about 10 percent of farm land lies with corporate or institutional owners. William G.

Insurance firms hold about half of corporate land, and pace of acquisitions outstrips disposals. He warns against rising involuntary tenancy and urges careful reconsideration.
