Sellers are cashing in on a farmland boom taking hold across rural America.

“We’ve never been here before. It’s a windfall at the moment,” says Chuck Wingert of Wingert Realty & Land Services, a farm auction company in Mankato, Minn.

Farmland values have soared in recent years. Earlier this year, the Federal Reserve of Chicago reported that farmland values across the Midwest climbed 25 percent higher than a year ago.

But many owners of farmland are unaware about the bid up in values, real estate professionals report. For those who do realize it, they’re finding they can really cash in for big bucks: Farmland sellers are using the hefty profits to pay off debt, buy second homes, and make other investments, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

For example, Kelvin Bonnema and his siblings realized now would be a good time to sell the farmland they inherited after the death of their parents. They sold their family’s 154-acre farm at $8,112 per acre, a country record in Kandiyohi County.
