The Maintenance of Farmer Wealth Charles B. Moss Primary Author Andrew Schmitz Primary Author mixed material bibliography Iowa Iowa State Press 2003 en English

Text

The chapters in this volume address the range of economic issues concerning the value of farmland. Beginning with a historical perspective, the focus progresses to the interaction between government policies and farmland values, then to the mechanics and behavior of the markets for land, the major farm business asset. These markets have special characteristics that make transaction costs a significant component of a land purchase, and these aspects are also considered. The more contemporary influences of urbanization and also environmental subsidies and regulations are examined next, with concluding chapters about special circumstances in regional farmland markets. Taken together, these chapters represent a most comprehensive and timely look at farmland values. The future prospects for trade liberalization and domestic policy reform, for ongoing farmland conversion, and for management of environmental quality mean that farmland values, with their undeniable importance to farm businesses and households, will continue to be of key interest.
