From 1,070 farms in 1925 to 1,117 in 1930, the county outpaced most neighbors while Hooker County posted the largest decline. Sidney and the western area see continued growth as wheat yields boost land interest and real estate activity. Nearby counties report mixed results with increases in Scotts Bluff Kimball Dawes and Morrill, among others.
