What happened
Terry Kestner, outgoing president of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, discussed the land market in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He noted that while uncertainty affects farmland values, demand for high-quality ground remains steady. Land quality decline is causing value weakness and some properties are failing to sell.

Why it matters
The decline in land quality and subsequent value weakness could impact property values and the county tax base in areas like Linn County. Conversely, recreational farmland has shown strength because buyers in that market typically earn their income away from the farm.
