Land demand up for farm enlargement in 1969 says Kutish
Farm Outlook quotes Kutish in Town Farm Science saying demand for land for enlargement remains strong into 1969 as farmers with ample machinery can bid higher for land. Many sales stem from estates or retirements, with about two of five sales used for enlargement, and estates remain the main source of land for sale. A Feb 3 meeting for the Algona Farm Loan Association includes dinner, reports, and a talk by A L Jones of the Federal Land Bank of Omaha.
