Fed's Kocherlakota: Agricultural Land Values Not "Out Of Whack"

online.wsj.com

Especially worrisome, Jason Henderson of the Kansas City Fed said he’s hearing about farmers leveraging the purchase of new farmland. They are using the accumulated appreciated value of their current land holdings to finance new land purchases, just like was done during the late 1970s. The question is whether we have failed to remember what happened in the 1980s when the bubble burst.
