The boom in farm land prices, which
got under way with the beginning of
World War II and reached its peak a
year ago, was the biggest for any
comparable period on record, accord
ing to figures compiled by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
' The total valuation of all farm land
and buildings increased by some $60
billions, or 180 per cent, between 1940
and 1952. Since farms declined in
number and grew in size in the period,
the average valuation per farm more
than tripled, rising from $5,518 in
1940 to more than $17,000 in 1952.
i All 4am 1am4 an) tMii1linra in tho
United States were estimated to be
worth $93.9 billions at their peak last
year. Since then prices have ease
reflecting lower farm income along
with the ebbing of inflationary pres-
sures, and by the spring of this year
total farm land and building valua
tions had declined nearly . a billion
dollars.
i Prior to the 1940-52 period, a great
farm land boom occurred in the first
decade of this century, when all farm I
real estate rose from $16.6 billions
in 1900 to $34.8 billions in 1910 for a
rise of 110 per cent Average valua-
' tion per farm increased at the same
time from $2,896 to $5,471, or 89 per
cent World War I gave that boom
new impetus, and by 1920 the worth
of all farm land and buildings was
placed at more than $66 billions and
of the average farm at over $10,000.
Then a prolonged slump developed,
and a decade and a half later these
valuations had been cut more than in
half.
' ' One of the significant aspects of
the recent farm land boom was the
fact that it was not accompanied by
a corresponding expansion in mort
gage debt as had been the case in the
World War I period. In fact total
farm mortgage debt at the beginning'
of this year was little larger than it
was in 1940. In addition, the propor
tion of debt-free farms has continued
to rise. A recent study by the De
partment of Agriculture in coopera
tion with the . U. S. Bureau of the
Census showed that 72.5 per cent of
all American farms were Without
mortgage debt in 1950 as compared
with 70.7 per cent in 1945 and 61.2
per cent in 1940. ,
However, farmers as a group have
greatly increased their non-real estate
debt, including credit from dealers
and installment loans. The total of
this category has gone up from $3.4
billions in 1940 to $9.2 billions at the
beginning of this year.
