I bought two parcels and closed on them 12-31-09 . Parcel 1: 110 acres with 28,000 bushel of storage, 40x80 shed and 40x60 shed (good shape) $5000 /acre. Parcel 2:110 acres bare land $5100/acre. These parcels bordered my farmstead and I had been farming them for 13 years. It was a private transaction between the estate heirs and I.
