Statewide and regional information is presented on characteristics of tracts sold from 1971 through 1983 by their distribution of total. cropland and pasture/rangeland acres. Statewide and regional information is also presented on farm real estate sale price trends from January 1971 through June 1987. Annual price trends are presented for all farmland and by land use classification (mostly cropland. majority cropland and majority pasture/rangeland acres). This information was developed from a computerized data base of more than 15000 farm real estate transactions provided by the Federal Land Bank of Omaha.
