Drop in Value of Farms Seen
The 1935 agricultural census shows a 31 percent drop in farm values since 1930 despite more farms and land in use. Total land value fell from 47.88 billion in 1930 to 32.88 billion in 1935, with several states losing 30 to over 40 percent. Experts link this to mortgage levels and farm income trends through 1930 to 1934.
