Reduction in Iowa Farm Land Values Secured by Iowa Farm Bureau Federation

Washington County saw per acre value drop from 84.90 to 77.08, a 7.82 reduction, translating to about 11.57 dollars less in tax per quarter section. The county has 349,627 rural acres, roughly 2180 quarter sections, amplifying the overall tax relief. The piece urges stronger Farm Bureau membership to sustain gains, noting freight-rate fights and benefits of county demonstrations, bulletins, lime and legume services, and education programs.
