Buying the Farm Cropland prices have grown at staggering rates over the last decade, and farmers ask what's next as prices flatten out
ELDORA, IA. – The auctions are unintentionally silent today at the Pine Lake Country Club. Plenty of farmers showed up on this drizzly fall morning, since it's too wet to harvest. But as auctioneer Joel Ambrose tries to sell first one, then another field to the 40 or so farmers gathered in a golf clubhouse outside this town of 2,700, the bids are few.
To be fair, many attendees came with no intention of bidding. Land auctions are a spectator sport for some – one retired farmer in the crowd says he, like many others, is killing time on a slow day. For others it's a way to keep an eye on the market as they prepare to sell land of their own or buy new parcels. And for many, it's a way of knowing which neighbor is willing and able to shell out thousands of dollars an acre.
