Can you share the typical interest rates for these "family farm" (2000 acres?) ?



2000 acres! That’s only worth $30+ million up here in the corn belt.

> In 2024, there were over 100 sales of excellent productivity farmland in Region 6. The sale price per acre ranged from $11,000 to $22,508, with an average value of $17,210 per acre.

And more like $60 million (USD; $80 million CAD) in the Canadian corn belt, which is not even nearly as productive. It is astonishing how cheap US farmland is.
