Boom In Farm Land Prices Signals Market Strength
A prolonged boom in farm real estate prices has started moving again, with July 1 values up 2 percent from March 1. Gains centered in the eastern seaboard, southern central regions, and mountain Pacific districts. Total farm real estate value neared 21584 billion, up $3.3 billion year over year. Farm buildings make up about 21 percent of value. The report notes low voluntary sale rates, with about 100000 sales in the latest year, and a shift toward enlarging existing farms. Nearly 40 percent of sellers are at least 60 years old. Non-farm buyers are fewer than last year. Factors boosting values include higher farm price supports and acreage reduction payments. Farm income rose about 10 percent in the first half, and expectations of continued price improvements into 1962 are noted.
