Kansas Farm Land Prices Rise Steadily Says KS University
Wilfred Pine of Kansas State University warns land values in Kansas rise steadily from 1940, reaching near 100 per acre now and potentially 125 to 135 by 1965 depending on inflation and economic factors. He predicts a leveling off only under stable prices and lower government support, with no depression expected before 1965.
