A meeting Thursday night at the Guthrie County Extension Office in Guthrie Center will teach attendees about the increasingly popular trend of land leasing. Iowa State University Farm Management Specialist Shane Ellis will lead the program and says it covers a lot of ground. “It’s going to be talking about recent trends in land values and also rental rates. We’ll talk about things that affect those figures, like commodity prices, profitability and a cost of actually producing the crops.”

We’ll talk more about the meeting with Ellis today on Let’s Talk Guthrie County. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
