Planet Money Podcast: Farmland Bubble?

At Planet Money (via Yglesias):
On today's show, we visit a place where global economic forces converge: Colo, Iowa.
The price of farmland in Iowa has doubled in the past few years. People rush to outbid each other at real-estate auctions, and land owners become millionaires in a matter of minutes.
We visit an auction, look at the broader economic picture, and ask an unavoidable question: Is it a bubble?
I''ll guess yes.
