Five Acre Alfalfa Rent Sets Cash Price Record
In Cedar Falls a five acre alfalfa field in Washington township near the Commercial club experimental plots was leased for 25 dollars an acre to EB L Wilson from Jessica C Weeks. Wilson will harvest two to three alfalfa crops and pay 50 dollars before the first cut and 75 dollars before the second. The project highlights a growing sandy land region attracting new investment and local farmers, with substantial recent land sales and extensive club plots showing strong alfalfa yields. An open house at the club plots will follow by a strawberry feed and local program at Island Park with remarks on soils.

Mortgage Debts on Farms Lower Experts Report Ames IA
A Iowa State College survey of farm mortgage data across 11 townships in six counties shows mortgaged indebtedness at slightly less than 1 percent of farm land, down from 32 percent in 1915 and near 57 percent at the peak. Total debt rose from 453000 in 1915 to 1385000 in 1923 and 1194000 in 1925, with per acre debt dropping from about 112 in 1925 to just over 101 in 1926, attributed mainly to foreclosures and property reversions rather than normal repayments.
