If you haven't seen, @pilottraveljobs is replacing E10 w/ E15 on regular & midgrade selections, leaving just E10 as premium for older vehicles, small engines, boats or motorcycles. Support those that support us! #ethanol

The average value of an acre of #Iowa farmland soared 29% to $9,751 in 2021, Iowa State University says. That is a nominal price record since Iowa State began surveying values in 1941. Inflation-adjusted prices were higher in 2012 and 2013.
