Despite the current challenges facing the agriculture industry, land markets are still resilient! In the latest report from the RLI Iowa Chapter, every crop district is showing gains in value over the past 6 months with the entire state gaining 1.3% on average. This just goes to show that no matter what economy we’re facing, land still shines as a strong investment!

Iowa Farmland Values - Spring 2026

Iowa farmland values are holding strong. The Iowa REALTORS® Land Institute’s Spring 2026 survey shows a 1.3% statewide increase since September 2025, with gains across all nine crop reporting districts. The Northeast led the way with a 3.4%.

Despite tight commodity margins, motivated buyers are active and quality farms are moving. 70% of respondents expect values to climb further over the next five years - Iowa farmland remains a reliable long-term asset.🌽

A huge shoutout to Rebecca Frantz and Matt Vegter of Hertz Farm Management for their work co-chairing the Land Trends & Values Committee and coordinating this survey!

Earlier this month, Chuck White, got the opportunity to visit Brazil on an agricultural tourism trip.

While in Brazil, Chuck and others visited the Mato Grosso, soybean farms during harvest, banana plantations and Iguazu Falls. He also got the chance to visit largest farm in Brazil which is over 1 million acres.

When asked about his biggest takeaway from the trip, he said, “The Brazilian farms have the ability to grow two big crops in a year. They never have a time when something won’t be growing. They are growing a cover crop and have cattle graze even in the “winter months” to producing some kind of income for them all year round.”

Check out the pictures below to see the highlights from Chuck’s recent Brazil trip.

We are excited to see that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is taking the steps to ensure the success of regenerative practices on farms across the country.

We applaud USDA Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins when she says, “in order to continue to be the most productive and most efficient growers in the world, we must protect our top soil from unnecessary erosion and boost the microbiome of the soil.”

Thank you Secretary Rollins and the USDA for this monumental announcement!
