URBANA – An auction to benefit the Charles W. Christie Foundation raised nearly a record price per acre for Champaign County farmland – but not quite.
Dr. Adolf Lo and his wife, Renee, successfully bid $32,000 an acre for 61.7 acres northwest of Champaign. The land is on the southeast corner of U.S. 150 and Duncan Road – directly south of the Rockwell Automation and Midwest Underground Technology plants and not far from the Interstate 57/Interstate 74 interchange.
