The crash was especially severe in Iowa, where the value of the state's farmland plunged from $2,147 an acre in 1981 to a low of $787 five years later, a drop of 63 percent. A third of the state's farms went out of business.
Where growth in values occurred it was at a slower rate than recorded during 2012. The strongest rise in values occurred for grade 3 arable land with growth of 3.3% to average Â£5,683 per acre and prime dairy land where a 2.2% increase pushed average values up to Â£6,135 per acre.he gap currently is as much as Â£4,600 per acre. Graph 4 illustrates farmland values adjusted for inflation and interestingly highlights a similar pattern in terms of the difference in value between the best and poorest prices paid for farmland in the mid-nineties.
