CARD's 2018 ISU Land Value Survey was cited in an article, "Focus on Ag: Land values remain fairly stable," in FarmForum.net Feb. 25, 2019.
"Iowa State University does a comprehensive land value survey each December, which is regarded as one of the best resources on trends for Midwest farm land sales. Iowa farm land values rose at an incredible pace from 2000 to 2013, with only one minor decline in 2009, before more significant declines of 8.9 percent in 2014, 3.9 percent in 2015, and 5.9 percent in 2016. This was the first time that the Iowa land value survey has shown three consecutive years of decline since the mid-1980’s."
