Farm land rises to year peak as dealers report
The Courier's News notes a steady comeback in farm land demand and investment value. A Ohio State University survey shows a sharp six month price rise in distressed farm real estate, with average state prices around 75.15 per acre and foreclosures down from a year ago. Experts say farm returns and stable long term value justify investment, citing federal farm board activity and broader U S department of agriculture data indicating market stabilization.
