My father may pass on soon and im looking at being willed 80 acres of farm land here in Iowa valued at around 1,000 to 2,000 dollars an acre.

This is not really my strong suit, but estate taxes do not kick in until you get past $700,000. It is levied against the estate of the decedent so if his net worth does not exceed that amount there'll be no estate tax.
