Note: Chicago Fed reports quarterly and yearly percentage change in Iowa land values, while the other three sources only report dollars per acre. The annual percentage changes and farmland value indexes (1981=100) are calculated to facilitate comparisons across different sources, especially with data from Chicago Fed.
