Emil Loriks, Huron state director of Farm Security, warns South Dakota farmers face a farm shortage. Among 8200 standard borrower families, over 500 may have to move this year and a large portion cannot relocate, risking liquidation of existing enterprises. Tenure survey shows 123 farmers notified they could not lease farms for 1942. 34 could not find replacements. Approximately 12 percent may operate new farms, while 106 borrowers cannot qualify for loans due to lack of suitable units. Eastern counties are hardest, consolidation and mechanization trends driving the issue.
