accountMktgLSB | calendar-monthApril 15, 2026

Iowa farmland auctions brought in more than $78 million in March, with over 10,600 acres changing hands across the state. Sales in counties such as Louisa, Sioux, and Ringgold reflected strong demand for high‑quality cropland and well‑maintained pasture, even as broader market conditions remain steady and increasingly selective.

Economists note that Iowa’s land values continue to be supported by limited supply, consistent buyer interest, and stronger livestock margins, while crop producers face tighter profitability. These dynamics mirror trends across Land Sales Bulletin’s Midwest reporting region, which includes Iowa among its 10 states.
