Roads Improve Land Prices And Profits Across Southern Farms
A United States Department of Agriculture study shows better roads raise land values and market prices. In Lee County Virginia a 100 acre farm rose from 1800 to 8000 after road work, while a 188 acre tract sold for 6000 and later 9000. In Johnson County Alabama bond funding boosted per acre values from 4–15 to 16–25. A cotton farm family on a good road hauled four bales versus one on a bad road, earning four dollars more on a price rise. In Sullivan County Tennessee a 100 bushel potato crop rotted due to delays while market price climbed to 1.40 per bushel.
