Nebraska farmland prices near 1912 levels despite rise
Dr. H C Filley of the University of Nebraska rural economics department says land prices have roughly doubled since the low mood but are not unduly high. The land price index sits 35 points above 1912 14 and 44 points below March 1920 peak, with buyers wary of further farm price drops and many owners viewing land as a safer investment than dollars. Net farm profits are expected to fall as gross income declines faster than input prices.
