ADDED INTEREST: This time of year, it's typical for land sales to see an uptick, and this year is no exception, according to BigIron Realty.Tyler Harris

Land sales are picking up, as they usually do at this time of the year, BigIron Realty reports. It appears that with added farm program payments and better corn prices, there are plenty of buyers with interest in acquiring more land to farm. Marketing time to sell a farm is at a minimum of 60 days.

BigIron Realty of Columbus, Neb., a licensed real estate broker in eight states, compiles the reports for this column, but not all sales are handled by BigIron each month. Contact BigIron at 800-887-8625. The following are several of the most recent sales:
