The New Year is knocking on the door, but that hasn’t slowed the pace of transactions in the last month of 2016, including:

• The acquisition of 8,638 acres of Illinois bottom land by Farmland Partners Inc. for $55 million.
• The sale of 640 acres of Wyoming School Trust Land for $46 million.

Be sure to mark Feb. 3 on your calendar. That’s the date of Peoples Company 10th Annual Land Investment Expo in Des Moines.
