SIU economist William Herr reports a 37 percent rise in average agricultural land value in ten Southern Illinois counties during the last half of 1977, with more than 12,000 acres selling for over 8.5 million dollars. Trends show smaller tracts up more, and tillable content driving higher values amid cattle price dynamics and double cropping gains.

The piece details the board’s structure, potential conflicts of interest with the Land of Lincoln Soybean Association and Farm Bureau ties, and recent funding allocations for research and overseas market development.
