The story gets worse. Farmers are repeating history. Corn hit 6.80 a bushel, so land prices went from 2000 an acre to 8000 an acre and up In my area. Now land prices are dropping, but the farmers have bank loans based on the high price, and corn prices are going back down. This all happened in the 80's, during the biggest farm crisis in recent history. So now the farmers are planting even more corn to make up the loss, planting in areas usually reserved for wildlife, further pushing down the corn price as well. What a mess!

As a farmer I see this here also. Land owners almost doubled the per acre price for lease. I did not fall for it and am thankful. It was not just corn but winter wheat also. I see farmers getting foreclosed in the next few years because of this. Although in the early 80`s it was because of Jimmy Carter trying to punish Iran and killing the American farmer. Soybeans are still holding but falling also.
