CSR stands for Corn Suitability Rating which has a big influence on the value of tillable farmland in Iowa. CSR is an index procedure developed in Iowa to rate each different kind of soil for its potential row-crop productivity. Soil profile properties and weather conditions are the dominant factors that affect productivity. Slope characteristics are major factors that determine how land should be used. Slope gradient and slope length affect potential erosion rates, water infiltration, and ease and efficiency of machine operation. CSRs provide a relative ranking of all soils mapped in the state of Iowa based on their potential to be utilized for row-crop production.

Auctions are an excellent match for farmland. "Time certain date of sale" is a term we use in the auction business. With an auction you know the exact day it will sell which is a huge advantage to any seller. If you are planning for taxes, or closing an estate knowing the exact sale day and closing day is a huge advantage. In today's world of rapidly rising farmland values how would you price your farm to list it? Go to high and you taint your farms value for some time into the future, go to low and you leave money on the table. Auctions are the superior marketing method for farmland, you get more indivdual attention for your property, much more reasonable commission rates and you fully control the process!

Have you ever heard an agent refer to a "Pocket Listing"? Pocket listings are farms we know are for sale, but not listed. In other words for one reason or another a person has told us "I don't want to list it but feel free to bring me offers" Sellers do this for various reasons, sometimes they don't want neighbors or family to know, sometimes they know several real estate agents and don't want to offend the other.

What you can't find in my listings, I may very well have as a pocket listing so its important to call and open the conversation, let me know what you are after and if I don't have it, I'll certainly keep an eye out for you and that doesn't cost you a dime!
