Price of Farm Land Higher In War Trend
The Agriculture Department reports farm land values rose an average 2 percent from March to July, led by gains in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota and Illinois. Florida and California also posted increases as citrus yields boosted prices. Despite higher values, total farm sales were down nationwide, with 21 states higher and 22 lower than a year ago. Credit tightening appeared limited and may not curb future purchases if continued price gains persist.
