Wendong ZhangWendong Zhang, associate professor, was interviewed for an Aug. 25 Radio Iowa story, "Iowa cash rents for farmland up from last year."

A survey finds Iowa had the highest cash rent average for cropland this year at 233-dollars an acre, three dollars an acre higher than last year.

“Iowa has seen about 20% growth, evidenced by many of the auction prices as well as the expert opinion survey,” Zhang says. “Iowa land values have shown about 18% growth from last July to July 1st of this year.” He says having cash rents follow farmland values is supported by their recent survey of farm managers and ag lenders.
