Implicit Prices of Soil Characteristics for Farmland in Iowa

John A Miranowski and Brian D. Hammes

ISU General Staff Papers from Iowa State University, Department of Economics

Abstract: Arguments have long persisted that purchasers pay too much for poor land (i.e., less productive, more erosive) relative to the higher quality counterpart. In other words, purchasers are either irrational or poorly in- formed relative to the differences in land productivity between poor and good farmland. Similar arguments have been advanced concerning the willingness-to-pay rent on the part of tenant operators.
