Excerpts: This report is designed to present recent trends in the land market. These data should be helpful in determining the influence of the war upon the land market, and should aid materially in an understanding of this market. The study is based on data collected from the following 17 Counties: Adams County, Colorado; Dickinson and Haskell Counties, Kansas; Fallon and Judith Basin Counties, Montana; Deuel, Howard, and Lancaster Counties, Nebraska; Morton, Stutsman, Traill, and Ward Counties, North Dakota; Brookings, Brown, Clay, and Haakon Counties, South Dakota; and Goshen County, Wyoming. The data were obtained from deed and mortgage recordings and contract-for-deed filings of farm real estate sales. Some unfiled contracts for deed were obtained directly from public land-owning agencies, but otherwise, no unrecorded contracts for deed were obtained. The report summarizes 10,800 voluntary land sales (deeds and contracts for deed), mortgages of record, and interviews with local people from 1941 through 1944.
