Rates of Return for Farm Real Estate and Common Stock

William E. Kost

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1968, vol. 50, issue 2, 213-224

Abstract: There has been considerable discussion in recent years concerning the income position of the agricultural sector of the economy. Investment analysts are generally pessimistic about investing in real estate—especially farm real estate. Since farm real estate and common stock are very similar, their rates of return take on added significance when these two assets are considered as investment alternatives. A model is presented by which comparable rates of return may be calculated. Income, price, and total rates of return are calculated for farm real estate and common stock for the 1950–1963 period. Rates of return on common stock are larger and show greater yearly fluctuation for this period.
