I would like to wish everyone a great 4th of July. If you are thinking of selling in the short term, let the market work for you, and get your farm on the market with a good farm realtor who has the capability to auction land. This is a sellers’ market.
“That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!” Please check back next week to see what the Iowa land market is doing.
