Abstract
This report describes an experimental farmland-value-survey of Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) county executive directors, initiated in 1982 and repeated in 1983 and 1984, and compares it with the U.S. Department of Agriculture farm report survey. State-level estimates of per acre farmland value from the 1984 ASCS survey are presented and compared with those derived from the farm report survey. The annual percentage changes in State-level farmland values shown by the ASCS survey are compared with those derived from the farm report survey. A simple paired comparison did not reveal a significant difference between the two percentage changes.
