The agricultural land market demonstrates remarkable resilience in early 2024, despite ongoing concerns about tariffs, interest rates, and commodity price fluctuations. In this information-packed episode, we dive deep into current farmland trends with special guest Jim Rothermich, "The Iowa Land Guy," who tracks every land auction in Iowa and provides crucial market insights.Rothermich reveals that Northwest Iowa continues to see premium farmland prices exceeding $20,000 per acre, driven primarily by local producers rather than outside investors. This producer-dominated market reflects the strategic importance of land acquisition beyond simple ROI calculations—farmers recognize that expansion opportunities may be once-in-a-lifetime chances. Despite rising interest rates reducing the buyer pool somewhat, most transactions still involve significant cash positions from farmers with strong balance sheets.The conversation shifts to recent auction results across several states, showcasing the tremendous range in current land values. From recreational properties selling for $3,800/acre in Pembina County, North Dakota, to premium farmland reaching $12,500/acre in Brown County, Minnesota, and multi-parcel offerings near Moorhead bringing $9,600/acre, the market demonstrates continued strength across diverse property types.Hosts Steve Link and Andy Murdock share exciting details about upcoming auctions, including a 3,000-acre ranch property in Golden Valley County and a unique 840-acre offering near Custer State Park in South Dakota featuring parcels with direct views of Mount Rushmore. The episode provides valuable perspective on market trends, buyer motivations, and what both sellers and purchasers should consider in today's dynamic land market.Discover why agricultural real estate continues to attract strong interest despite economic headwinds, and gain insights that could help you make more informed decisions about your land assets.

In this episode Luke talks with Kristin Benton about getting the females in your life into firearms training.Kristin grew up in Northwest Iowa - around a lot of hunters and guns were around but not an active part of everyday life. On her 30th birthday, when she was gifted a handgun and carry permit class, it was the first time she had shot a pistol. She was nervous and excited but most of all, knew she had a lot to learn.  That first time walking into a range with her newly acquired handgun, she recalls, "I was so nervous and I felt stupid. I was surrounded by guys who knew all the things (or so I thought) and being a woman around all these "tactical dudes" made me feel like such an outsider." Thankfully, Kristin stuck in there and immediately fell in love with shooting and has been learning ever since. When you're excited about something you want to share it and what started as teaching girlfriends how to shoot for fun, has become something more in She Shoots Training! With 20 years of prior success in training/adult learning, it made perfect sense for Kristin to share her knowledge and experience with the thousands of other women who are just like she was at the beginning of her journey and who want the skills to protect themselves and their families. ​She Shoots started as a way to help women navigate a dangerous world and has grown into a mission to educate, equip, and empower women of all ages.https://www.sheshootstraining.com/https://www.instagram.com/sheshootstraining/Intro/Outro Music:Layer Cake by tubebackr   / tubebackr  Creative Commons — Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported — CC BY-ND 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3U4QrlFMusic promoted by Audio Library https://bit.ly/4aM55E5Please like, subscribe and share to help us grow the podcast.Check out our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/GreenOpsInc Follow us on Instagram:Green Ops Podcast - Green_ops_podcastGreen Ops - greenopsincLuke - Green_Ops_LukeDex - Green_Ops_DexLove you Mom!

Tampering with records is an aggravated misdemeanor.The current and former student-athletes are accused of engaging in schemes with other people to disguise their identities and “manipulate online/mobile transactions in order to create the appearance” that their sports wagers were being conducted by other people.The criminal complaint against Dekkers, who started all 12 games for the Cyclones last season, alleges that he placed wagers on approximately 26 Cyclone sporting events, including a 2021 football game against Oklahoma State when he was a sophomore backup quarterback. He did not play in that game.In addition to facing criminal penalties, Dekkers, Johnson and Sauser could lose all of their remaining eligibility because of NCAA rules that bar student-athletes from betting on their own games or any other sports at an individual's own institution.A police lieutenant testified Tuesday that the mother of a man charged with attempting to rob and kill a woman last year on the University of Iowa campus helped sell the family vehicle before taking her son to a Chicago airport to skip the country — a week before his trial was set to start in Johnson County.UI police Lt.

He was facing trial on attempted murder, first-degree robbery and first-degree theft charges.Ali Younes remains a fugitive because Jordan doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States.

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast...Kristin grew up in Northwest Iowa - around a lot of hunters and guns were around but not an active part of everyday life.

The first time Kristin walked into a gun range with her newly acquired handgun, she recalls, "I was so nervous and I felt stupid. I was surrounded by guys who knew all the things (or so I thought) and being a woman around all these "tactical dudes" made me feel like such an outsider."
