Here in NW Ohio where I live the ground isn't that good we have hard clay which is a pain but land is up to around 6-8 thousand and acre here. I think out west in Iowa and areas where there is more fertile farmland land was selling around 10 thousand an acre just about 2 years ago. During the ethanol/corn boom. Now it is probably receding in value some but I have not seen any auctions or sales lately to tell you what the going price is. We don't have a lot of timberland mainly crop production rural area. I refuse to let my parents sell the land they have and I know they won't and I don't plan on it either. The land we own doesn't have any woods on it but it provides for some of the best groundhog hunting that I can get at.
