X, iowa some would say theres a special bond between a horse and its owner. Thats what running the race horse ranch president chris jordan wants to introduce to the children she serves. We call it horse therapy, jordan said. The kids come out and they learn how to ride the horses, take care of them, brush them with the kids side by side the whole time theyre here, make sure that theyre safe. Children up to 18 years old can participate. Jordan and volunteers work with the participants, teaching them everything about the horses, and also ministering to them. Jordan said working with horses can have a calming effect. Weve heard from the parents that its really helped build confidence in the kids, it has helped the kids develop a sense of well being and responsibility, jordan said. They kind of go in stages where theyll just kind of start out brushing and then pretty soon they can ride by themselves, so its really helped with confidence. She said she started the ranch as a way to give back. I grew up with horses and we spent a lot of time competing with horses as a family. God put it on my heart about five years ago that he wanted us to start a horse camp for kids, jordan said. Volunteer Emmie Rommann has for more than three years, and she said the experience is just teaching them god, and to find that bond with a horse, because ive had that my whole life, rommann said. When come out here they dont want to look at us or even talk to us. Just being able to develop a bond with them personally and then were able to see the progress throughout the time that theyre here. The program is completely free and the ranch relies solely on donations.

Dennis good morning jessica. Despite low Agricultural Commodity prices, land still seems to be in high demand with buyers willing to spend near record levels. At a sioux county land auction held last friday near hospers, a tract of 154 acres sold at 17,300 an acre. When you calculate that, it equals to two million, 664 thousand, 200 dollars. Jim klein of remsen was the auctioneer for the sale. He says land sold is of very productive. as said it was a 154 of 99pointonefive, which is rather unusual. And whats that is, there was that had 100, which is almost never seen. Dennis klein says the land was sold to a local neighboring property adjacent to the land that was for sale. The auctioneer says there was a lot of interest in the agricultural real estate, as it had several bidders at the start of the sale. Jessicrae dennis, was this farmland sale a new record price in sioux county . Dennis no. Jessica, the price per acre is not a record for sioux county land sales, as a parcel of land sold for more than 20,000 an acre nearly two years ago, but at that time, Commodity Prices for both grain and livestock were higher. Klein says with todays lower prices for grain and livestock, and the outlook showing a continuation of declining farm income, the expectation would be that land values would also decline. Sot klein3 43 outcue . Going to be a purchaser. as said actually, in the last probably month to month and a half, we have actually seen the land prices increase. And i dont quite understand it yet. Plus, we have also seen our livestock, especially the cattle, have taken quite a hit recently. One of the stories i hear is that the bankers arof course willing to lend money, and that the rate of return on your investment at a bank is not very good, so they are putting it into land. And as far as the farmers are concerned, this type of land does not come around very often at all. And when they have a chance to buy something of this quality. Theyre going to be a purchaser. Dennis jessica, as you know, sioux county is a leader in livestock and poultry production, and klein believes in livestock and poultry production, and klein believes there may be two reasons for the high demand for land. One farmers just may want to expand their operations. And two, farmers have a need for additional land so to have somewhere to dispose manure. Jessica, jim klein told me this was the highest price land that he has had a role in selling in his more than 30 years as an auctioneer. Jessica rae thank you, dennis.
