Listen in as I speak with Andy Campbell on the Beyond the Hood podcast about my experiences in the appraisal industry, as well as tech and trends in land and machinery prices.

I want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July! Henry County tops the market this week with a sale at $15,300/acre. Honorable mention goes to Lee County with a sale at $14,500/acre. Please keep praying for people in northern Iowa recovering from all the flooding.

Sac County takes top honors this week with a sale at $20,000/acre. Please keep the people in northern Iowa in your prayers. They have had some extreme rain events the past several days and there are a lot of land and houses underwater.

Dallas County tops the market at $24,300/acre. June will be active for land auctions. Market conditions seem to be steady to trending lower.

O’Brien County tops the market with a sale bringing in $15,800/acre. Market conditions are cooling. The 2024 planting season is wrapping up.

May ends with not enough auction activity to test the market. We must get the 2024 planting finished up. I think a few good days of sunny weather is all we need.

There were two “no sales” this week indicating the market is still adjusting to current economic conditions. I am worried there could be a lot of re-plant this year with all the cool, wet weather. I am hearing there will be some preventive plant.

Not much is happening right now with land auctions, but things do pick up a little in June. Wishing the rain would slow a bit to get this crop planted then come back in July and August.

It was another week with not enough activity to test the market. Rain continues to slow planting, but hopefully we will get a run of good weather soon to finish it up. Check out my latest interview with my good friend, Tommy Grisafi: https://bit.ly/3yeClpw. We talked about April land market conditions and LandHero.us, a website which allows access to my real-time Iowa land sale data via subscription.

Sioux County keeps producing big results, this week with a $29,800/acre sale. However, there was still not enough auction activity to test the market. Rain is slowing the planting progress, though it is needed. A lot can get planted once things dry out.

There was not enough activity to test the market again this week, with four auctions. Wild weather brought rain over the weekend; the extended forecast indicates good planting weather ahead.

There were only three auctions this week, not enough activity to test the market. We’re getting some much-needed rain across the state but still have a way to go to recharge soil profiles.

Lyon County again leads the week with a sale at $21,700/acre, followed by Pocahontas with honorable mention at $13,650/acre. There will not be much to report through the end of the month, as auction activity has slowed due to planting season starting.

Lyon County is the leader this week with sales at $22,200/acre & $19,200/acre. Honorable mention goes to Hamilton County with a sale at $15,600/acre. Planters will be rolling very soon.

Sioux County strikes again for top billing with a sale at $26,500/acre. Honorable mention goes to O’Brien County with a sale at $18,100/acre. Auction activity will slow in April for planting season.

Washington County tops the market with a $20,750/acre sale. Poweshiek County takes honorable mention at $19,500/acre. There will be a good number of auctions this coming week. Auction activity will slow in April through August. We’re getting much-needed precipitation around the state.

Webster County produced the top two auctions with prices at $14,400/acre and $14,300/acre. We’re still seeing some “no sale” at auction. Farm income is projected to be significantly lower than in the past three years. There is a direct correlation between farm income and land value.

Sioux County tops the market again with sales at $27,750/acre and $18,700/acre. Honorable mention goes to Plymouth County at $18,000/acre.
