Excerpt from Current Developments in the Farm Real Estate Market: Approved by the Outlook and Situation Board January 11, 1955 Comparing the results of the October 1953 and October l95k surveys, the gain in the proportion of reporters who expected an increase in land values was greatest in the northern Corn Belt and in several other States which contain large metropolitan areas where land values have strengthened most in the last year. Conversely, there was still a widely held opinion among reporters in Oklahoma, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas that land values would continue to decline. The prevalence of this opinion can be attributed largely to the effects of drought in l95h and the generally weak demand for farms that resulted. Similar opinions as to expected changes in values were also obtained for good, average, and poor farms in the eastern two-thirds of the country and for irrigated, dryfarming, and grazing lands in the western States.
