I just saw 100 acres of crp here go for $2000 an acre. I talked to an appraiser the other day and he told me recreational land is getting to be worth far more than tillable land. Like someone else said, the best way to buy land is to leave the real estate agents out of it, just drive around until you find a piece of land you like, find out who owns it and offer some cash to the farmer who owns it, if it's not tillable chances are you'll get it for a decent price.
