I might be misunderstanding the nature of the bond market, but the treasury's website says 30 years are at > 3%.

That chart is for yields, which is distinct from rates. Although the rates for 30 year bonds are also greater than 3 percent (3.625 in the latest auction). However, if you are looking at inflation protected securities (TIPS) a 30 year TIPS bond has an interest rate of 0.625.
