I'm new to sanet as of yesterday. Interesting discussions and unusual
questions. I've got a question.

Had a call from a banker today asking if I knew of anyone who could tell him
if land had greater value because of its being certified organic. I didn't
know of anyone - there's not a lot of certified organic production going on
in Iowa - but his question prompted me to wonder about the answer. Anyone
know the answer?
