Monkey Dirt

Big Picture Agriculture has a number of charts of land rent prices.  Here's my favorite:


Wow.  $260 an acre.  It looks to me like central Illinois farmers have to be better at crunching numbers than growing crops with those kinds of prices.  Looks like the crops must just about grown themselves.  And I thought ground west of the Great Miami River was monkey dirt (soil so productive monkeys could grow great crops on it).
