Prices of Iowa land rise modestly, wealth gains projected
Iowa land values are expected to lift by ten dollars per acre over the next twelve to fifteen months, boosting farm wealth state wide by about 3147000 to 750000. A twenty dollar per acre rise could lift each county’s basic wealth by around 7000000 and total farm wealth in the state by roughly 683000000, says Burt J. Thompson of Forest City, Iowa, chairman of the Iowa Farm Corporation. The farm dollar now buys about four cents of purchasing power, up from a low of 59 percent, with expectations it will strengthen further toward par.
