The Market for Farm Real Estate

Abstract: The price of land usually reflects net farm income—but not always. Net farm income had declined 25 percent by the end of 1955 from a peak in 1951, but land values were up 4 percent. The reasons for these and other changes, which have a bearing on farm welfare, credit policies, and public programs, are cited in this survey, which has great meaning for people who want to buy land. That, it seems, includes nearly everybody.
