Farm land prices and mort
gages are climbing and there is
one disturbing angle to the sit
uation, according to some econo
mists. “Farmers and other land
buyers are beginning to forget
what happened in the 1920s. A
feeling is growing that inflation
is permanent and that high and
even higher land prices are here
to stay.”
While we have no figures
available at the present time, it
is apparent that local land prices
are definitely out of line with
farm income. Interest rates on
long term mortgages have risen
50% since the close of World
War II. Why? There has been
an increase in mortgages. Many
are being renewed, not paid off
as was the case of the past de
cade. Some of this is made up of
short term farm debts that have
been converted into long term
farm mortgages.
Many believe the farm debt is
not getting out of band. But the
rising capital in farming and the
relaxed attitude toward it is
causing some anxiety to some
experienced observers. Not only
has the value of land risen, but
equipment, livestock, operating
costs and taxes have increased in
proportion until the whole out
lay is more than double what it
was in 1941. Together they rep
resent a much heavier investment
on which to earn a profit and
they make farming more vuner-
able to a fall in price levels.
Each rise in land values adds to
the vulnerability.
Ever since the middle of World
War II there have been warnings
against the rise in land values.
But with the exception of one
year they have gone steadily
higher. This has naturally creat
ed a more confident attitude,
which has been heightened by
the increasing inflation and the
signs that it will continue
an indefinite time.
But inflatory conditions
always deceptive. In the spring
of 1920 there were assertions
that the world was in a. new era
of values and that the record
land prices of that time were
perfectly safe. The tragedy that
followed has become only a re
ceding memory in the prosperous
years we have enjoyed . since
1946. But it is something that
farmers can not afford to forget.
DID YOU KNOW?
It is one of the primary eco-_
nomic laws that when the supply
of money and credit increases
faster than production, the
suit is rising prices,
