Value of state's farmland on the way up

LeROY – Appraisers all over the state who track the value of farmland say market prices are up again, and they're in the $6,000-an-acre range in the central part of the state.

LeRoy-based farm manager Tom Wiggins said what he sees in the local market agrees with estimates recently released by the Illinois Society of Farm Manager and Rural Appraisers.
