Texas Farm Land
Values Show Rise
In ’58 Says White
Farm land values in Texas
and the nation are headed up
again, according to John C.
White, commissioner of agricul-
ture., An early 1958 breathing
spell was, short-lived and the
previous rate of climb has ful-
ly resumed as the year closes.
During the .past-month period,
values set new record highs in
45 states.
The farm land price index
now stands at 5 percent above
a year ago and 23 percent above
five years ago—and a whooping
60 percent above 10 years ago.
All regions and ail classes of
farm land appear to be sharing
alike in the rise.
Sellers are as responsible as
anyone for the up-trend in
values. With bumper harvests
and few farmers having acres
to spare, the volume of farm
land offered for sale has stea-
dily decreased. Farmers with
land to sell know they are able
to demand a fancy price—and
get it. Commissioner White de-
clared.
On the buying side, active
farm operators are still the
most important single group,
accounting for eight outtif eve
ry twenty farm purchases. Most
buy to enlarge the size of exis-
ting farm operations. Five years
ago, only, 25 percent of farm
land bought was for this pur-
pose? now 40 percent is.
Non-farmers are ntiw run-
ning a close second as the ma-
jor buyers' of farm real estate.
During the past twelve months
reported, they accounted for se-
ven of every twenty purchases
Non-farmers buy mainly for
long-term investment. As an in-*
nation hedge, dollar gains from
holding farm land have been
less spectacular than from
common stocks, but are consi-
derably more sure and involve
leks ,r» k..
Tenants climbing the agri-
cultural ladder are a third im-
portant group bidding up farm
values, with four out of every
twenty purchases to their cre-
dit. Note, however, that of all
land purt.iascs the percentage
which are made by tenants has
declined one-sixth in three
years. . “ ■
The remaining one out of
twenty fa/m real estate pur-
chases is by a retired farmer
buying either to re-enter far-
ming orjfoi investment income.
Though still not a major force
ir. the market, the percentage
of land purchases which are
