The Nation's Most Trusted
Farmland Sales Database
Land Sleuth, LLC was built on a simple conviction: that farmland buyers, sellers, appraisers, and lenders deserve access to the same verified transaction data that has always existed in courthouse records — organized, searchable, and delivered in real time.
Dig Deep Into Farmland Facts
For decades, reliable farmland sales data has been locked inside county courthouses — accessible only to those with the time and resources to retrieve it manually. The result has been a market where valuations are often based on rumor, incomplete comps, or automated estimates that bear little relationship to actual transaction prices.
LandSleuth was founded to change that. Starting with a complete, verified record of every farmland sale in all 99 Iowa counties — one of the most liquid and closely watched farmland markets in the United States — we are building the definitive national farmland sales database, county by county, courthouse by courthouse.
Our subscribers include certified general appraisers, agricultural lenders, farm management companies, institutional investors, and individual landowners who need accurate, current, and comparable transaction data to make sound decisions.
Our Core Principles
Courthouse-Verified Accuracy
Every sale in our database is sourced directly from county courthouse records — not estimates, not automated valuations, not self-reported data. If it isn't on file at the courthouse, it isn't in our database.
Comprehensive Coverage
We began with all 99 counties of Iowa — one of the most active farmland markets in the nation — and are systematically expanding state by state, building the most complete national farmland sales record available anywhere.
Built for the Field
LandSleuth was designed by people who understand how farmland appraisers, lenders, and farm managers actually work. Our tools are built around real workflows, not generic real estate software retrofitted for agriculture.
Community-Powered Growth
Alongside our own verified data collection, we invite licensed appraisers, brokers, and county officials to contribute sales records through our submission portal — every submission is reviewed before publication.
Transparent Market Intelligence
We publish price-per-acre trends, CSR2-adjusted comparables, and county-level market reports so that every subscriber — from an individual landowner to a regional lender — can make decisions grounded in real data.
Subscriber-First Business Model
We are a subscription service, not an advertising platform. We have no incentive to inflate values, favor certain sellers, or hide unfavorable data. Our only obligation is to the accuracy of the record.
