Farm Land Prices in Ohio Still Rising Says Dougan

Ohio farm real estate values remain well above prewar levels and may climb further by 1977 as land demand grows. Dougan, an OSU economist, cites rising farm mortgage debt and nonfarm buyers as drivers. He warns against expecting sharp drops but notes possible short dips in the overall economy and land values. Riley attributes the climb to commercial family farmers expanding landholdings and access to financing, with mortgage debt up 25 percent of farm value last year.
