Indiana Farmland Remains Good Buy

Despite the fact that Indiana's land value has risen the least amount in comparison to every other state over the past 10 years, "Indiana farmland still remains a good buy and an enough better asset" according to an annual survery put out by Purdue University's survey.

"By geographic area, central Indiana counties posted the highest per-acre values for the three farmland classes: $3,551 for top quality, $3,007 for average quality and $2,517 for poor quality. The west-central region was close behind, at $3,351 for top quality, $2,816 for average quality and $2,217 for poor quality land. "
