Farm taxes rise steeply as war era values outpace earnings
A U S agricultural survey finds farm land taxes up about 140 percent since 1914 while farm product values rose less than 60 percent. Eight hundred million dollars in annual farm taxes are collected mostly on assumed capital values, often ignoring actual earning capacity.
