Jones County takes top honors this week with a sale at $23,550/acre. Lots of hot weather in September is pushing crop maturity to the finish line. I think we are having a “flash drought.”

Henry County rings the bell this week with a sale at $19,000/acre. The Farm Progress show is this week in Boone - a must see for the latest & greatest technology in crop farming.

Palo Alto is top county this week with a sale at $16,250/acre. The Farm Progress show starts next week. I’m looking forward to seeing the latest and greatest in equipment & technology.

Plymouth County tops the market this week at $17,100/acre with a CSR2 of 46.9. Good amounts of rain have been falling across the Corn Belt, and rain makes grain.

Auction activity ramps up this month. O’Brien County rings the bell at $21,500/acre.

Grundy County tops the market this week at $18,400/acre. Auction activity starts ramping up in August. Will strong prices continue?

Calhoun County rings the bell this week with a sale at $14,200/acre. Auction activity starts ramping up in August. Plenty of fungicide applications are happening in the countryside.

There were just a few auctions this week. Jasper County tops the market at $10,300/acre.

There was no auction activity this week. Please be safe planting.

Buchanan County takes the top spot this week at $16,196/acre, though there was not enough activity to test the market. It will be planting “go-time” soon as fields dry out.

There was not much activity but there was a strong sale in Sioux County this week at $26,600/acre. Planters have stopped due to rain.
