Land price ana lysis available A computer may be able to help you decide whetheir to buy, sel or keep your farm. At Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, a new program called Land Pricing Analysis is offering farmners computer assistance to help make such critical decisions. R.W. Ross, an agricultural economist and head of the programn, says the computer helps the farmer analyze al the variables before buying or selling. "'There are two things the farmer wants to know", says Mr. Ross. "He wants to know whether the produce is a good investment and whether bc can afford it." The computer is helpful because it highlights il points whîch should be considered. For example, il analyzes prices of recent sales, tax rates, net income, interest rates, land inflation and morgage costs. But before the computer can give an anal- ysis, the farmer must proviçie it with accurate information. if he does, the computer will tell the farmer what price he can afford to pay for the land. It will take about five minutes. "This programn can be useful as an investmerlt tool," says Mr. Ross. "'However, cannot make the final eý- ision for the farmer."' The program bhas been operating for' three months and is availaîbe to any farmer seriously considering land purchase or sale. For more information contact R.W. Ross, Ridgwtown College of Agricultural Technoiogy, Ridgetown, Ontario.
