All...just because this subject gets discussed here at times...from a recent Farm Bureau publication (Spokesman), refer to the snippet below regarding land ownership in Iowa.
"As Iowa’s farmland owners continue to age, other trends in land ownership have emerged, according to an Iowa State University (ISU) study on farmland ownership and conservation released last week.
According to the study, 58% of Iowa’s farmland is now leased, a significant increase from the last time the study was conducted in 2017.
In addition, 84% of the land is free of debt, up from 82% in 2017; and conservation efforts have doubled in the past five years."
That 84% of all land is free of all debt is pretty amazing to me...I think this has a big impact on how land prices will move in the future.
