RE: Ever Sell Your Farm???
I wish I could own a farm in the worst way, or maybe at least own some land. If I owned one, I would never sell it at all. Well, maybe I could go to Norway and reclaim the ole family farm, but there aren't deer there!

RE: Ever Sell Your Farm???
While some may find this very hard to believe, there's a very small, very wealthy town called Gladwyne in Lower Merion Township, Pa where an acre of land goes for in the neighborhood of $1,400,000. That's no lie! People in that area often buy a million dollar home, have it razed, then have a larger more expensive one built!
I live only a mile and a half from there. What a difference that little bit of distance makes.

Nick...It's been a few years since I've priced farm land...But 8-10 years ago in eastern NC farm land was bringing $1,000-1,500 an acre...In Iowa, where you are it would run $1,200-$1,800 an acre...
Now, these are very rough figures and don't consider highway frontage, buildings, creeks, etc...
Here in NC, the growth of cities and developement is ruining the family farm...In 50 yearsif you don't own land in NC you probably will not be able to hunt on private land...

Yeah, the price of land in a state is always gonna vary. There is a vast difference between what you would pay for farm land on the outskirts of the greater Chicago area versus what you would pay for it in Edwards county. Likewise, I think that there would be a vast difference between the price of farmland outside of Des Moine versus wooded bottomland outside of Muscatine.
