Cheyenne County Farm Outlook Amid Savings Bond Strength
The 1949 report shows Cheyenne County residents bought over two million dollars in savings bonds and redeemed six hundred thousand. Bond reserves top ten million, mortgages near new lows, and land values stay high due to bumper crops and oil discoveries. REA expansion boosts farm homes and optimism grows despite a dry winter and light snows. Experts see potential wheat recovery with normal spring rains and deep root systems surviving subzero days. The overall view is confident for the 1950s.
