The Agriculture Department reports that most farmers retain ownership of land despite price and income declines. Farm income fell about 10 percent last year while land prices rose roughly 5 percent for 1955, with Minnesota showing a 11 percent gain and Utah a slight dip. Strong demand and ongoing prosperity keep farmland in demand as many buyers view it as a safe investment.
