Economist Urges
That Land Value
Be Kept Steady
It has taken a quarter of a
century to get over the upsurge
in land prices that came with the
first World War, and we need to
remember this lesson in order to
keep land values steady now, ac
cording to the Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service.
Kenneth Treanor, Extension Ec
onomist in farm management, said
this week that “We can see the
boom in land prices during World
War 1 was unjustified when it
pulled the price of a far m so high
the earnings from the farm would
not pay for it over a long period
of time.
“The value of Georgia farms
more than doubled during the
period of inflation at the time of
the last war. Mortgage indebted
ness on owner-operated farms in
creased to nearly four times what
it was before inflation began.
“When the break came, farm
values declined to their former
levels, but mortgage debt contin
ued to increase until it was nearly
five times as great as before in
flation. Farmers by the thousands
lost their farms.”
Treanor urged farmers to re
member that land will have to be
paid for out of the income 10 to
20 years from now, just the same
as this year.
“Individually, farmers can con
tribute greatly to keeping land
prices stable by using their high
er incomes to pay off debts, buy
war bonds and stamps, and by
staying out of the land market if
prices rise unreasonably in their
neighborhood,” the economist
concluded.
