Farmland Market Update - June 2025
Welcome to the latest farmland market update from Whitaker Marketing Group! The Iowa farmland market continues to show resilience and strategic opportunity, even as we see slight market adjustments in some regions. The data from the past 12 months reinforces what we’re seeing on the ground: quality sells, and farmland remains a secure, in-demand asset.
Current Farmland Prices
Here’s the latest breakdown of farmland prices across Iowa:
🌾 High Quality: $12,082/acre (down from $12,795 last June)
- 🌽 Medium Quality: $8,234/acre (nearly flat year over year)
- 🌱Low Quality: $5,800/acre (down from $6,554) While the headlines may suggest a cooling market, the story behind the numbers shows continued buyer interest, especially in strong tracts. The slight decline is more of a correction than a downturn—and sellers who are prepared are still seeing solid results.
🔨 Auction Activity – Light First Half, Stronger Second Half Ahead
It’s no secret: 2025’s auction volume is running behind 2024’s pace. Fewer farms have come to market so far this year—but this lower inventory is exactly what makes the upcoming fall season so important. Buyers are still active. Demand is still strong. But opportunity favors those who move before the fall rush. Sellers who list early can benefit from more attention, less competition, and peak demand conditions.
💬 What This Means for Landowners
If you’ve been thinking about selling—whether it’s a full farm, a family estate, or just a tract or two—this is your moment to plan.
