Iowa farmland values rise


2004 Iowa Land Value Survey

The average value of an acre of farmland in Iowa increased $354 to an all-time high of $2,629, according to the 2004 Iowa Land Value Survey conducted by extension economist Mike Duffy (also associate director at the Leopold Center). The survey has been conducted annually since 1941, and is the only statewide survey that collects information on land values in each of Iowa's 99 counties.

More information, including an historical perspective and county-by-county data, is on the 2004 Iowa Land Value Survey page on the ISU Extension web site.
