Amid a dreary economic picture, a quiet success story is taking shape on farms across the Midwest. Corn prices are up. Soybeans are, too. And the value of farmland has soared.

JEFFERSON, Iowa - The bidders drove over snow- and ice-covered highways for a chance to own one of the most lucrative properties in the Midwest: 120 acres of farmland in Greene County, Iowa. The winner of last month's auction at St. Joseph's Parish Center in Jefferson offered $8,200 an acre - almost $1 million - for the plot in Scranton Township. That's 44 percent higher than the $5,701 per-acre estimate for average values in the county as of Nov. 1, according to Iowa State University data.
