day to be held near brooklytmn ontario county in early july sk8sfisks3is article suggests that farm land prices not as high as may seem farm land prices may not be as high as we have been led to be lieve in terms of the prevar 1 193539 dollar land prices average only one per cent higher today than in 1938 this is one of the statements tak en from the ekxane agricultural digest published in st louis mis souri and was brought to the at tention of the members of the hal ton farm managements associat ion by george hunt wellknown halton teed dealer and farm ec onomics specialist here are a tew interesting statements from the same source farmers and people everywhere are paixzled by the continued boom in farm land prices weve always assuaped that land prices were a redaction of the level of farm prosjhtrjxy we thought we knew that farrners bid up the price of una when they had money and let tlte prices fait when times were hard not so any more the facts are thai farm land prices have gone up 47 per cent since 1947 while the realized net income ot farmers has dropped 37 per cent for eight years land prices have gone up on an average of al most per cent- per year while realized net farm income has dec lined an average of 44 per cent per year governmental policy both inside and outside ot agricul ture has thus become an engine of inflation which combines shrink ing aaarkcls new technology pro duction controls and high tax rates into the same transmission system thats why farm land prices are going up in the midst of todays farm depression expect price decline unless you see an end to the kind of government polices which have created the present situation count on still more inflation ris ing land prices will be only one indication of whats going on ten years from now youll look back to 1956 as wc now look at 1947 and say land was a pretty good buy back then allow for short term land price declines such as those which came in 194950 and in 1953- 54 such a decline is to he expected this year or next the comments or statements tak en from the doanc agricultural digest should not be interpreted to apply to farm prices in halton county which is in the golden horseshoe nevertheless they do provide food for thought and also give an overall picture for the v s and to some extent tor the north american continent no we are not going to go out on a limb on the question of whether of not a farm owner should sell his farm at present prices in the first place as vce see it the answer would vary with circumstances that is age and health of the oper ator
