How we value Iowa farmland

The dollar value comes from USDA NASS county cropland cash-rent and land-value surveys (USD/acre). On top, a 0–100 site score grades each field from open federal data: soil productivity (USDA NCCPI from gSSURGO), climate and drought (gridMET), slope (USGS 3DEP), crop rotation (USDA CDL), drainage and — where relevant — irrigation. Every factor stays visible in the site profile. Read the full method →
