Drought hits Texas crops and land values study says

Prices along the Canadian River breaks fall about 16 percent since 1994 while San Antonio outskirts and Lower Rio Grande Valley also show declines. Some areas near Austin rise on real estate activity, but overall statewide land value rose only modestly from 1994 to 1995.
