PREFACE
Volume III, Special Reports, comprises one of the volumes presenting final summaries
and results for the 1954 Census of Agriculture. Part 5, Farm-Mortgage Debt, presents
data on farin-mortgage indebtedness as of January 1, 1956, with comparative data for
Census years, mostly from 1930 and later. The data include"the amount of mortgage indebt-
edness, the debt held by principal lending agencies and interest charges, with some related
information on number of farms, land in farms, and value of farms. Data are presented
for the United States, for geographic divisions, and for States. The data are estimates
based on a special mail survey of owners of farm lands as reported in the 1954 Census of
Agriculture, supplemented by data on mortgage status of owner-operators as reported in
that Census and by mortgage debt information collected and compiled by the Agricultural
Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture.
This report was prepared cooperatively by the Bureau of the Census, United States
Department of Commerce, and the Agricultural Research Service, United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. It continues a series of cooperative reports covering farm-mortgage
indebtedness which have been issued in conjunction with the more recent Censuses of
Agriculture.
Plans for this cooperative report were made by Ray Hurley, Chief of the Agriculture
Division, Bureau of the Census, and Norman J. Wall, Head, Agricultural Finance Section,
Production Economics Research Branch, Agricultural Research Service. Principal respon-
sibility for the project was carried by Harold N. Cox, Clive E. Johnson, Orville M. Slye,
Haven D. Umstott, and Clinton F. Wells, Jr., of the Agriculture Division of the Bureau of
the Census, and Russell W. Bierman and James A. Munger of the Agricultural Research
Service. Earl E. Houseman of the Agricultural Marketing Service assisted in outlining
the sampling procedure.

United States agriculture. It will seek to delineate such as-
pects of agriculture as the geographic distribution and dif-
ferences by size of farm for such items as farm acreage,
principal crops, and important kinds of livestock, farm facili-
ties, farm equipment, use of fertilizer, soil conservation prac-
tices, farm tenure, and farm Income.

erative special report to be prepared in cooperation with the
Agricultural Research Service of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. This report will contain data for 119 economic sub-
regions, (essentially general type-of -farming areas) showing the
general characteristics for each type of farm by economic class.
It will provide data for a current analysis of the differences
that exist among groups of farms of the same type. It will
furnish statistical basis for a realistic examination of produc-
tion of such commodities as wheat, cotton, and dairy products
in connection with actual or proposed; governmental policies
and programs,

FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
Introduction. — This special report presents statistics on the
amount of farm-mortgage indebtedness as of January 1, 1956, for
the United States and for the various States. The data are pre-
sented for owner-operated land and for a combination of rented
and manager-operated lands. Related information, when avail-
able, is given for the number of farms, land in farms, farmland
values, age of operator, and economic class of farm by mortgage
status; amount of farm real estate loans held by the principal
lenders; and interest charges and rates paid on farm-mortgage in-
debtedness. Some comparative data are presented for several
earlier years. For example, the total amount of farm-mortgage
indebtedness and the amounts held by the principal lenders are
shown for all Census years, beginning with 1910 and continuing
through 1950. Additional data are presented for 1930, 1940, 1945,
and 1950. However, most of the comparative statistics presented
herein are for 1950 and 1956.
Among the subjects with a long history in Census taking is the
one relating to farm mortgages. Beginning with 1890, and con-
tinuing without a break in the series, the Census Bureau has
furnished a varying amount of basic data in respect to the indebt-
edness for which farm real estate had been p'edged as security.
During an enumerator's canvass of his district he must call at
each farm-operator household. At a tenant-operator household,
the enumerator probably would not be able to learn whether the
landlord for that farm had a mortgage against his laud. Even if
the tenant was aware of the existence of a mortgage on his land-
lord's land, he would be even less likely to know the amount of the
indebtedness. Thus, of necessity, most of the mortgage informa-
tion which has been obtained by a personal visit to farms, in a
Census enumeration, has related to the land of owner-operators.
But the need for farm-mortgage statistics has been for the total
amount of indebtedness, as well as for the amount owed by
operating owners.
For the last several Censuses, the total farm-mortgage indebted-
ness and the mortgage status of farm lands and other comple-
mentary facts have been based, in part, on supplementary reports
secured from the owners of leased lands by some procedure other
than by direct enumeration. This has been accomplished through
the use of questionnaires mailed to a sample of owners of rented
farm lands. To improve the reliability of the estimated totals and
to furnish additional information in regard to debt of owner-
operators, questionnaires have been mailed also to operating
owners. (See "The sample used for the survey on farm-mortgage
debt" for a more complete description of the sampling plan and
other techniques used for the 1956 and 1950 data.)
The United States Department of Agriculture, for many years,
has had the responsibility of preparing annual estimates of the
amount of farm-mortgage indebtedness, interest rates, and other
current information on the farm-mortgage debt situation. These
data are used in many ways and are of general interest to legisla-
tors, students, lenders, and borrowers. Data on farm-mortgage
indebtedness are used in preparing the annual Balance Sheet of
Agriculture, a United States Department of Agriculture publica-
tion which summarizes the assets and liabilities of agriculture.
The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, provides
that "interest payments per acre on farm indebtedness secured by
real estate" shall be a component of the Parity Index used by the
Department of Agriculture in computing parity prices for agricul-
tural commodities. Support prices for agricultural commodities
are based, in part, on parity prices. Because the periodic Census
data are used as benchmarks to improve these annual series of
farm-mortgage data, the United States Department of Agriculture
has cooperated with the Census Bureau in formulating and mailing
the supplementary questionnaires and in preparing the estimated
totals given in this report.
While this report deals only with indebtedness chargeable against
farm real estate, there is considerable interest in other types of
indebtedness, much of which is a liability of operating farmers.
Farmers have been increasing their output through improved tech-
nology, mechanization, and the greater use of capital, generally.
Presently, the interest in all phases of credit available to and used
by farmers is augmented by the fact that prices received by farm-
ers, in most instances, have moved downward while prices paid
by farmers for goods and services have been maintained at a high
level or have increased. Further, these price changes have affected
lending operations by increasing the amount of credit needed by
farmers for both capital outlays and production expenses. Another
factor, increasing the need for credit, has been the upward trend
in the per-acre value of farmland. One of the reasons for the
strong demand for farmland comes from farmers wishing to en-
large their farm holdings in order to lower unit-production costs.
Thus, the amount of borrowings by farmers has increased for both
long-term and short-term needs.
The United States Department of Agriculture has prepared
annual estimates of nonreal estate debt for all years since 1940.
That organization has felt keenly the need of benchmark infor-
mation in this field, also. A cooperative survey of farm-operator
expenditures was made for the year 1955. This survey, of an
interview type for sample households drawn from the 1954 Census
of Agriculture, obtained information on the amount of loans and
credit outstanding January 1, 1956, and interest rates thereon, for
borrowings other than those secured by real estate. The report on
this survey, Farmers' Expenditures in 1955, Part 11 of Volume III
of the 1954 Census of Agriculture, shows interest charges for non-
real estate debt incurred by farm operators for farm and family
living expenditures. Interest and financing costs of installment
purchases are included in total expenditures for the items to
which they apply, and are excluded from interest expenditures.
Sources of data. — The 1956 farm-mortgage estimates presented
in this report were prepared jointly by the Bureau of the Census,
United States Department of Commerce, and the Agricultural
Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture. The
basic information for the 1956 estimates was obtained, in part,
in the 1954 Census of Agriculture and, in part, through a 1956
mail survey of a sample of owners of farmland. Additional sources
for these mortgage data were the official reports of the principal
lending agencies — Federal land banks, the Farmers' Home Admin-
istration, life insurance companies, and all commercial and
savings banks.
For earlier years, the data were obtained in much the same
manner as for 1956.
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
For each Census beginning with 1930, mortgage information
for rented and manager-operated land has been obtained through
mail-survey questionnaires. In 1930, the mail survey was under-
taken by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture. In 1935, 1940, and 1945, the
mail survey was conducted jointly by the Bureau of the Census
and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. In 1950 and 1956,
the mail survey was made by the Bureau of the Census. The
Bureau of Agricultural Economics in 1950 and the Agricultural
Research Service in 1956 cooperated in designing the question-
naire and in preparing the estimates.
The mortgage data, for all Censuses, presented in this chapter
represent estimates for all farm real estate prepared jointly by
the two agencies. The data shown for earlier years in this report
and previous cooperative reports will not agree with the mortgage
data for full owners and part owners as shown in the Census
reports for earlier years. These earlier Census data, shown in
the Census reports, include no estimates for farms for which
mortgage information waB not reported.
Basic information from the Censuses of Agriculture. — The 1954
Census of Agriculture Questionnaire carried the following inquiry
to be asked of a sample of approximately 20 percent of all farm
operators:
Is there any MORTGAGE DEBT on land [□ No
■and buildings owned by you? \\3 Yes
ID No land owned
The 1954 enumeration was made in October and November.
The answers to the above inquiry were compiled for operating
owners of farmland (both full owners and part owners) and related
to all land owned by the operator and not to the portion retained
by him if part of his land was rented to others. The mortgage
status of the land, as obtained by this inquiry, and the related
farm area and farm value, obtained by other questionnaire in-
quiries for the same land, were used as a basis for preparing the
1956 estimates.
The instructions, prepared for the guidance of Census enumera-
tors, specified that farm mortgages included deeds of trust, deeds
to secure debt, purchase money mortgages, vendors liens (deed
with vendor) , land purchase contracts, and bonds for deed. Cer-
tain items were excluded such as crop liens, mechanics' liens,
judgments, mortgages on livestock or machinery, or other personal
property liens (chattel mortgages), promissory notes, or delinquent
taxes.
The amount of the indebtedness was not secured in the Census
enumeration in 1954, whereas such basic information was obtained
in the 1950 enumeration. The inquiry for 1950, which applied to
a sample of owner-operators only, was as follows:
Is there any MORTGAGE ({J No
DEBT on the land and build- < □ Yes. How much? $ /00
ings owned by you? (, (Dollars only)
Here, again, the inquiry related to all the land owned by the
operator and not to the portion retained for his own operation.
Census mortgage data, obtained in the 1950 Census, were not
published separately. These data were consolidated with those
obtained in the later mail inquiry and appear as Part 8 of Volume
V of the reports of the 1950 Census of Agriculture. Most of these
data are given for comparative purposes in this report.
The tabulation of mortgage data from the 1945 Census of
Agriculture was restricted, except in 12 States, to a sample of one-
twelfth to one-half of the enumeration districts. In that Census,
two inquiries, similar to those used in 1950, were to be asked of all
operating owners for all counties. The questions related to the
land retained for operation by the owners. An analysis of the
1945 Census of Agriculture returns indicated that, for some
enumeration districts, the mortgage information was incomplete
or inaccurately reported. Therefore, substantial upward revisions
were necessary in the information for mortgaged full-owner and
part-owner farms, as reported by Census enumerators. The
published data concerning the 1945 farm-mortgage debt represent
a consolidation of data obtained in the Census and in a special
mail survey. Most of these data for 1945 appear for comparative
purposes in this report.
For the 1940 Census, three inquiries in respect to farm-mortgage
indebtedness were asked of all operating owners. The first of
these related to the presence or absence of indebtedness on the
land owned and operated. The second ascertained the total
amount of outstanding mortgage debt on such land and buildings.
The third inquiry obtained the annual rate (contract rate) of
interest on the first mortgage debt. The data obtained as a result
of these inquiries were published in Volume III of the 1940 Census
of Agriculture Reports. Consolidated data for that year, a com-
bination of the Census information and that obtained through the
cooperative mail survey, were presented in two joint (Bureau of the
Census and Bureau of Agricultural Economics) releases published
in 1943 and in 1944. Most of the data from these releases appear
for comparative purposes in this report.
In the 1935 Census, all owner-operators were to be asked about
the existence of a mortgage and the amount of mortgage debt on
land and buildings owned and operated, provided they owned no
additional land. These data were not published separately.
They were consolidated with additional data gathered in the joint
survey and were published in 1937 in a joint release by the Bureau
of the Census and the United States Department of Agriculture.
These consolidated data were published on pages 310 and 311 of
Volume III of the Reports for the 1940 Census of Agriculture.
Most of these also appear in the tables of this report.
For 1930, three inquiries were asked of all owner-operators,
similar to those for 1940 with the exception that the operator
was asked as to the amount charged in 1929 on his mortgage debt
for interest, commissions, bonuses, and premiums instead of the
annual rate of interest. The data gathered in the Census of 1930
are shown in Volume IV of the reports for that year. Estimates
based on these Census data and on the results of the mail survey
were first published by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of
the United States Department of Agriculture. Revised data were
shown in the release published cooperatively by the Bureau of the
Census and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in 1937.
Most of the estimates for 1930 are given in this report.
In the several Census enumerations, no information on farm-
mortgage debt has been obtained for land rented from others
by farm operators or for land managed for others by farm operators.
The information for rented and manager-operated land has been
obtained in subsequent surveys through the use of questionnaires
mailed to the owners of lands rented to others or managed for
others.
The questionnaire for the 1956 Survey of Farm-Mortgage Debt. —
In January 1956, the first mailing of the farm-mortgage debt
questionnaire was made to a sample of all landowners (see "The
sample used for the survey on farm-mortgage debt" for a descrip-
tion of the sample). A facsimile of the questionnaire follows on
p. 3.
A letter from the Director of the Bureau of the Census to the
landowners appeared on the face of the questionnaire. A facsimile
of this letter follows on p. 4.

Dear Sir:
As a part of the 1954- Census of Agriculture, information
is needed on the number of farms in the United States which are
mortgaged, the amount of farm-mortgage indebtedness, source of
credit, and interest rates. This information is necessary to
indicate the changes which have occurred during the last five
years. Questions to obtain information of this nature are being
asked of approximately one out of twenty-five landowners.
Will you, therefore, please fill out the questionnaire
on the reverse side and mail it, this week, in the enclosed envelope
which does not require postage.
PLEASE FILL OUT AND MAIL THIS QUESTIONNAIRE EVEN THOUGH
YOUR LAND IS NOT NOW MORTGAGED, OR IF YOU DO NOT NOW OWN ANY LAND.
Your returning of this completed questionnaire promptly will be
appreciated and will eliminate the need for writing you again.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
Qd&V. QyuMjfM--

FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
The sample used for the survey on farm-mortgage debt. —
The sample for the survey was selected from the 1954 Census of
Agriculture. This sample was obtained from the sample of farms
for which data regarding mortgage-debt status and other items
were secured in the 1954 Census of Agriculture. Data on farm-
mortgage debt were obtained in the 1954 Census of Agriculture
for a sample of approximately 20 percent of all owner-operated
farms. For a description of this sample, see page XIX of the
Introduction to Volume II of the reports of the 1954 Census of
Agriculture. The sampling rate for the survey on farm-mortgage
debt was varied for each State and for each tenure of operator and
for two groupings of farms by economic class. Because of the
importance of farms in Economic Classes I and II, a much higher
proportion of these farms was included in the sample than for
farms in other economic classes. (Farms in Economic Classes I
and II include farms with a value of farm products sold in 1954 of
$10,000 and over; other farms for this sample selection include
farms with a value of all farm products sold in 1954 of less than
$10,000. Abnormal farms regardless of the amount of gross in-
come were included with the other group. For a more detailed
description of economic class of farm, see page 10.) The sampling
rates and the number of farms included in the sample for the
farm-mortgage debt survey are indicated in Table A. The
total number of farms selected for the sample totaled 192,545.
However, 859 of these farms were eliminated from the sample
because they had also been selected for the sample to be used for
a survey of farm operators' expenditures. The 191,686 farms
remaining in the sample comprised 284,427 landowners. This
total of landowners included 10,077 which were classified as cor-
porations (institutions, railroads, insurance companies, banks,
etc.) and Federal and local government agencies and Indian
reservations. During the survey, some landowners reported
they had sold all or a part of the land owned by them in lo54.
Also, some of the persons reported as landowners in the 1954
Census of Agriculture were found to be lessees rather than land-
owners. In the case of landowners reporting that all or part of
their farmland had been sold and in the case of lessees reported as
landowners, questionnaires were mailed to the new landowner and
to the correct landlord. The corrections and additions to the
mailing list because of these changes totaled approximately
13,000. Thus, questionnaires for the survey were mailed to a
total of 287,000 persons who represented (1) operating owners of
farmland; (2) landlords of farms operated by tenants; (3) owners
of manager-operated farms; and (4) purchasers of land owned by
other owners in 1954, and to actual owners when a lessee was
reported as the landlord in the 1954 Census of Agriculture.
Mailing of questionnaires. — The first mailing of the question-
naires for the survey was made on January 11, 1956, and was
completed on February 17, 1956. A follow-up notice was mailed
to the owners of farms from whom a reply had not been received.
This follow-up mailing was started on February 14, 1956, and
completed on March 15, 1956. Then, a second questionnaire was
mailed to all landowners from whom a reply had not been received.
This mailing of additional questionnaires was started on March 13,
1956, and completed on April 16, 1956. From these three mailings
to approximately 287,000 persons, usable questionnaires were
obtained from 195,951 landowners. Questionnaires were not
mailed to the 10,077 corporations, governmental agencies, etc., as
it was assumed that the farm lands owned by these were mortgage-
free. Thus, data were obtained or available for a total of 206,028
landowners or approximately 69 percent of all the landowners
included in the sample selected for the survey. Reports for these
206,028 landowners were included in the tabulations.
Processing the questionnaires. — The data on each questionnaire
received for the farm-mortgage debt survey were checked against
the data on agriculture questionnaires for the 1954 Census of
Agriculture for the farm from which the name of the landowner
was selected. If the questionnaire for the farm-mortgage debt
survey covered more or less farmland than the agriculture question-
naire, then adjustments 'if the data were made so I he data on the
farm-mortgage debt survey related only to the land reported on
the agriculture questionnaire for the 1954 Census of Agriculture.
If part, of the land covered by the questionnaire for the 1954
Census of Agriculture had been sold, then a farm-mortgage debt
survey questionnaire was mailed to the purchaser and the question-
naire covering the land sold was included in the tabulations.
Information from the 1954 Census of Agriculture on acres owned;
value of land and buildings; tenure of operator; type of farm; and
for landowners who were owner-operators, mortgage-debt status,
age, and year they began to operate the farm were included on the
punchcard containing the data reported in the farm-mortgage
debt survey and were used in making the tabulations and esti-
mates.
For each State, separate tabulations of data from the farm-
mortgage survey subclassified by data from the 1954 Census of
Agriculture were made for full owners, and for the owned portion
of farms operated by part owners, by two groupings of farms by
economic class, by mortgage status in 1956, by:
(1) Age of operator.
(2) Years on farm.
(3) Type of lender (for mortgaged farms only).
(4) Ratio of mortgage debt to the value of land and buildings
in 1956 (for mortgaged farms only).
(5) Type of farm (for commercial farms only).
(6) Economic class of farm.
Likewise, for each State, separate tabulations were made for
landowners of farms operated by tenants, managers, and part
owners (leased portion), by mortgage status in 1956, for two
groupings of farms by economic class, by type of lender.
For each group, separate tabulations were made of the data for
landowners who did not report the value of land and buildings,
the acres owned, or the amount of mortgage debt when the land
was reported mortgaged. Estimates of the missing data for these
groups were prepared on the basis of reports for similar groups of
landowners for whom all data were reported. The farms for
which such estimates were made comprised less than one-tenth of
1 percent of all farms.
Preparing estimates. — Estimates for the number of farms,
acres in farms, and the value of land and buildings in 1954 and as
of January 1, 1956, for farms operated by full owners and for the
owned portion of farms operated by part owners, were prepared
for each State, for each tenure group, and for two groupings of
farms by economic class, by dividing the number of farms, for
which reports as to mortgage status were obtained in the survey,
into the total number of farms shown for the 1954 Census of Agri-
culture for the corresponding grouping of farms and then by multi-
plying the totals for the farms in the mortgage-debt survey by this
factor. For the rented portion of part-owner farms and for farms
operated by managers and tenants, the factor used for multiplying
the farm-mortgage debt survey totals to obtain estimated totals for
all farms was obtained by dividing the total acres of land owned,
shown by the mortgage-survey reports, into the total acreage of
rented land in farms of part owners, tenants, and in farms operated
by managers as shown for the corresponding group by the 1954
Census of Agriculture. The totals for the 1954 Census of
Agriculture and for the survey of mortgage debt were adjusted b.v
subtracting the acreage of land in farms owned by corporations,
governmental agencies, etc., before the calculations were made.
The factors calculated for each tenure group are shown by States
in Table B. The method outlined for obtaining estimates for
al) farms, from the survey of farm-mortgage debt, assumed that
the farms and land of landowners from whom reports were not
received were similar in regards to mortgage status, size, value
of land and buildings, etc., to the farms and land of landowners
from whom usable reports were obtained in the survey. At the.
United States level, the proportion of the farms reported as

FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
mortgaged in 1954 for farms for which reports were received for
the mortgage-debt survey differed only 3 percent for full owners
and only 1 1 percent for part owners (owned portion) from that for
farms for which no usable reports were obtained in the survey of
mortgage debt. The average size of farms for full owners with
no reports for the survey of farm-mortgage debt differed by only
19 percent from that for farms of full owners for whom reports
were obtained. For part owners, the difference in the average
size of farm for those reporting and those not reporting in the
survey of farm-mortgage debt was 17 percent. The difference in
the average value of land and buildings per acre for farms for
which reports were obtained in the farm-mortgage debt survey
and those farms for which a report was not obtained was 7 percent
for full owners and 7 percent for part owners (owned portion).
The estimates of farm-mortgage debt were made on the basis of
the average ratio of debt to value of land and buildings reported
for the mortgaged farm lands for each grouping of farm* included
in the farm-mortgage debt survey.

1 Adjustments were made
the sampling rate called for,
beoause of no response. Large amounts of Government and corporate lands, in some States, were responsible for a smaller expansion factor than
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
Adjustment of estimates. — Three kinds of adjustments were
made in the totals obtained from the tabulations. First, when
the distribution of the farms in 1954 by mortgage status as shown
by the reports for the mortgage survey differed from that shown
for the 1954 Census of Agriculture, percentage adjustments were
made in the number of farms, land in farms, and value of land and
buildings so that the distribution of farms by 1954 mortgage
status in the mortgage survey was the same as that for the 1954
Census of Agriculture. For the United States, this adjustment
averaged 2.1 percent. The same percentage adjustments used
for full owners and for part owners (owned portion) were made for
rented land in farms of part owners ard in land in farms operated
by tenants and managers. Second, some additional adjustments
were considered necessary in the value of land and buildings in
21 States, because the value of land and buildings for land for
which reports were not obtained in the survey of mortgage debt
appeared to be significantly different from the value of land and
buildings for land for which reports had been obtained in the
survey. These adjustments averaged 1.4 percent for the United
States and exceeded 5 percent in only 5 States. Third, the
estimates of the amount of mortgage debt for Federal land
banks, Farmers' Home Administration, life insurance companies,
and all operating banks were adjusted for each State to the known
totals of those lending agencies. These adjustments averaged at
the United States level, 2.1 percent (downward) for all 4 lending
agencies; 7.2 percent (downward) for Federal land banks; 34.8
percent (downward) for the Farmers' Home Administration; 27.2
percent (upward) for life insurance companies; and 20.2 percent
(downward) for all operating banks. No changes were made
in the estimated total for the amount of mortgage debt because
of the adjustment in the amount of debt for these 4 lending
agencies.
The survey data were expanded to universe totals by using
expansion factors, after adjustment for nonresponse. Table B
shows the adjusted expansion factors for each of eight sampling
strata for the individual States. Government, corporate, and
institutional land was included at 100 percent response and
weighted, in proportion to the number of acres, with rented land.
Reliability of the 1956 survey estimates was strengthened
by the relatively high response rate for a mailed questionnaire.
For example, estimates in Wisconsin were made on the basis of
83.8 percent response for full owners, Economic Classes I and II,
and 91.8 percent response for all other economic classes. Esti-
mates for part owners were based on an 83.6 percent response
for Economic Classes I and II, and 80.4 percent response for other
economic classes. The response rate for rented land for Economic
Classes I and II was 70.0 percent, and for other economic classes,
was 83.9 percent.
In preparing the 1956 estimates of acreages and values by
mortgage status and the amount of indebtedness, it was assumed
that the farmland owners who did not reply to the survey ques-
tionnaire were similar in mortgage characteristics to those who did
reply. A study of the 1954 Census of Agriculture questionnaires
for those farms for which a 1956 survey questionnaire was not
received indicated that this group of farms was similar in size,
value, and mortgage status to those farms for which a response
was received. The estimates were made by applying ratios based
on the farms for which replies were received to the totals for all
farms. The overall totals shown for the number of farms and
land in farms are in agreement with the totals obtained by tabu-
lating the data for all farms in the 1954 Census of Agriculture.
The totals for the value of land and buildings have been adjusted
to represent those prevailing on January 1, 1956, which was the
date to which the farm-mortgage debt mailed survey inquiry was
related. The January 1, 1956 value of all farm reaf estate for the
United States, as indicated by the mortgage-debt survey question-
naires, was $106,576,916,000. This figure is an increase of 9.2
percent above the $97,582,918,000 total shown in the 1954 Census
of Agriculture which was taken in October and November of that
year.
Farm-mortgage debt outstanding on January 1, 1956 was
determined from the ratio of debt to value prevailing in the
survey as applied to the adjusted 1956 value of land and buildings.
Total debt was first allocated to lender groups on the basis of the
mailed survey questionnaire. Afterwards, debt for each of 4
lenders (Federal land banks, Farmers' Home Administration,
insurance companies, and banks) was adjusted to known totals
for these lenders.
Average rates of interest for the Federal land banks are in
agreement with known rates for this lender. Interest charges
and average rates of interest on total mortgage debt for all other
lender groups were based on information reported in the 1956
survey. All impossible interest rates for known lenders were
adjusted before averages were computed.
Estimates for 1956. — The estimates for January 1, 1956, are for
the farms and farm lands included in the 1954 Census of Agricul-
ture. No estimates have been made regarding the changes in the
number of farms or land in farms from the date of the 1954
Census of Agriculture (October-November 1954) to January 1,
1956. The estimates on the number of farms by mortgage status
are as of January 1, 1956, and the total number coincides with the
count of farms in the 1954 Census of Agriculture. Likewise,
the estimates of acreage, value of land and buildings, and amount
of mortgage debt represent totals as of January 1, 1956, for the
farmland and buildings included in the 1954 Census of Agriculture.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
Only definitions and explanatory matter of particular signif-
icance in regard to mortgage debt are presented in this chapter.
For definitions and explanations of items of general application,
refer to the Introduction to Volume II of the 1954 Census of
xVgriculture reports. For a more detailed discussion of land in
farms, refer to Chapter I, Farms and Land in Farms; for the
classification of farms by tenure of the operator, refer to Chapter
X, Color, Race, and Tenure of Farm Operator; and for classifica-
tion of farms by economic class, see Chapter XI, Economic Class
of Farm. These three chapters are parts of Volume II of the
reports of the 1954 Census of Agriculture.
A farm. — All the land under the control of one person or partner-
ship was included as one farm. Control may have been through
ownership, or through lease, rental, or cropping arrangement.
For the 1954 Census of Agriculture, places of 3 or more acres
were counted as farms if the annual value of agricultural products,
exclusive of home-garden products, amounted to $150 or more.
The agricultural products could have been either for home use or
for sale. Places of less than 3 acres were counted as farms only if
the annua] value of sales of agricultural products amounted to
$150 or more. Places for which the value of agricultural products
for 1954 was less than these minima because of crop failure or other
unusual conditions, and places operated at the time of the Census
for the first time, were counted as farms if normally they could be
expected to produce these minimum quantities of agricultural
products.
If a person had croppers or other tenants, the land assigned each
cropper or other tenant was considered a separate farm, even
though the landlord handled the entire holding as one operating
unit in respect to supervision, equipment, rotation practice,
purchase of supplies, or sale of products. Land retained by the
landlord and worked by him with the help of his family and/or
hired labor was likewise considered a farm.
If land under the control of one person or partnership was
located in 2 or more counties, the entire holding was enumerated
as 1 farm and in only 1 county.
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
For the 1950 Census of Agriculture, the definition of a farm was
the same as for 1954. For the 1945 and earlier Censuses of Agri-
culture, the definition of a farm was somewhat more inclusive.
From 1930 to 1945, farms, for Census purposes, included places of
3 or more acres on which there were agricultural operations, and
places of less than 3 acres if the agricultural products for home use
or for sale were valued at $250 or more. For places of 3 or more
acres, no minimum quantity of agricultural production was re-
quired for purposes of enumeration; for places of under 3 acres all
the agricultural products valued at $250 or more may have been
for home use and not for sale. The only reports excluded from the
tabulations were those taken in error and those with very limited
agricultural production, such as only a small home garden, a few
fruit trees, a very small flock of chickens, etc. In 1945, reports for
places of 3 acres or more with limited agricultural operations were
retained if there were 3 or more acres of cropland and pasture, or
if the value of products in 1944 amounted to $150 or more when
there were less than 3 acres of cropland and pasture.
Land in farms. — For 1954 and 1950, the land in each farm, that
is the land under the control of each farm operator or partnership,
was determined by asking the number of acres owned, the acres
rented from others or worked on shares for others, and the acres
rented to others or worked on shares by others. The acres in the
farm were obtained by adding the acres owned and acres rented
from others or worked on shares for others, and subtracting the
acres rented to others or worked on shares by others. In case of
a managed farm, the person in charge was asked the total acreage
managed for his employer. The acreage that was rented to
others or cropped by others was subtracted from the total managed
acreage.
In earlier Censuses, the acreage in each farm was determined by
asking directly the acreage in the farm. The enumerators and
farm operators were instructed to include any land rented from
others and to exclude any land rented to others.
Value of land and buildings. — The value to be reported was the
approximate amount for which the land and the buildings on it
would sell. For the 1954 and the 1950 Censuses of Agriculture,
the value of land and buildings was estimated on the basis of
reports for a sample of approximately 20 percent of the farms.
The value of land and buildings for 1954 was estimated on the
basis of the value of land and buildings reported for farmland and
buildings in the survey of mortgage debt. (See adjustment of
estimates, page 8 for a description of the adjustment of the value
of land and buildings.) The estimated value of farmland and
buildings (for farmland and buildings included in the 1954 Census
of Agriculture) was $106,576,916,000, as of January 1, 1956, an
increase of 9.2 percent above the $97,582,918,000 shown for the
1954 Census of Agriculture.
Farm owner. — A farm owner is a person who, or agency which,
owns farmland. He may be a farm operator, he may be a land-
lord renting his land to others or having his land cropped by others,
or he may be the employer of a manager who operates his farm.
Farm operator. — A farm operator is a person who operates a
farm either performing the labor himself or directly supervising it.
He may be an owner, a hired manager, or a tenant. If he rents
land to others or has land cropped for him by others, he is con-
sidered the operator of only the acreage which he retains. The
number of farm operators is considered the same as the number
of farms.
In 1954, farm operators were classified according to the tenure
under which they held their land on the basis of the land retained
by the farm operator. In 1950, farm operators were classified
according to the tenure under which they held their land on the
basis of the total land owned, the total land rented from others,
and the land managed for others. For the 1945 and earlier
Censuses, the determination of full owners, part owners, and ten-
ants was made, as in 1954, on the basis of land operated.
Owner-operated farms. — Owner-operated farms are farms
operated by persons who own farm lands. Mortgage data pre-
sented for owner-operated farms relate only to land owned by
the farm operator and retained by him. Land rented to others or
worked on shares by others is not included. Land owned includes
all land which the operator or his wife, or both, held under title,
purchase contract, homestead law, or as one of the heirs, or as a
trustee, of an undivided estate. For a partnership, all the land
owned by any of the partners and operated as a partnership was
to be included as land owned. In the case of an Indian operator,
land allotted in trust and also any reservation lands assigned him
for his own use were to be considered as owner-operated.
Full owners own all 'he land they operate. For the 1954 Census
of Agriculture, but not for I960, an owner who also rented land
from others was classed as a full owner if he subrented to others
all the land he rented from others, retaining and operating only
land owned by him.
Part owners own land they operate and rent from others
additional land which they operate.
Tenant- and manager-operated farms, including rented portion
of part-owner farms. — Tenants rent from others, or work on
shares for others, all the land they operate. For the 1954 Census
of Agriculture, but not for 1950, tenants included some farm
operators who owned land but rented to others all the land owned,
retaining only land rented from others. Rented land includes land
worked on shares for others and land used rent-free, as well as
all land rented or leased under other arrangements. Grazing land
used under government permit is not included. Open range and
grazing lands used under permit were not to be included as land
in farms.
Manager farms are farms operated for others by persons paid a
wage or salary for their services. Persons acting merely as
caretakers or hired as laborers are not classified as managers.
All land operated for a government agency (Federal, State, or
local), a corporation, or an institution, was considered managed
even though no person was specifically designated as the farm
manager. Similarly, grazing lands held or controlled by coop-
erative groups, such as grazing associations, were considered
managed. Likewise, Indian reservation lands operated for
Indians and not reported by individual Indians were considered
managed.
Data on acreage, value, and debt presented for tenant- and
manager-operated farms include the land rented from others by
part owners. Data on number of tenant and manager farms
mortgaged, as shown for 1950 and prior years, relate only to
tenant- and manager-operated farms and represent estimates
made on the basis of the proportion of the owners of such farms
who had mortgage indebtedness.
Number of farms by mortgage status. — For 1956, the number
of farms mortgaged and the number free of mortgage encumbrance
were estimated only for full-owner and part-owner (owned portion)
farms. The number of manager and tenant farms which were
mortgaged and the number which were free of debt were not
estimated. A manager or tenant may operate land representing
several different owners. Mortgage indebtedness reported by
any of these owners would classify the farm as mortgaged, by
definition. Mortgage status, as applied to real estate, is a function
relating to owners, rather than operators of land. Since the value
of such statistics is limited, estimates of the number of mortgaged
manager- and tenant-operated farms were not made.
10
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
A mortgaged farm is one having land (land and/or buildings
thereon) pledged as security for debt. A farm free from debt
is one which has none of the land pledged as security for debt.
The mortgage status of a part-owner farm relates to the owned
portion only. If an owner-operator reported mortgage indebted-
ness on any of the land owned, the farm was considered to be
mortgaged. This procedure may have resulted in a slight over-
statement of the number of owner-operated mortgaged farms.
For example, an owner-operator may rent to others a portion of
the land owned. He majr have mortgage indebtedness on only
that portion which he rents to others. Under the above procedure,
his farm might have been classed as mortgaged when actually all
the land he retained and operated w-as free of debt.
Farm-mortgage debt. — Farm mortgages are evidences of a
pledge of farmland and buildings as security for a debt. The
debt may have arisen through purchase of the real estate or
through a subsequent loan. Farm mortgages include deeds of
trust, deeds to secure debt, purchase money mortgages, vendors
liens (deed with vendor), land purchase contracts, and bonds for
deed. They do not include crop liens, mechanics liens, judgments,
mortgages on livestock or machinery, or other personal property-
liens (chattel mortgages), promissory notes, or delinquent- taxes.
In conformity with the practices followed in farm credit statis-
tics prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture,
in this and preceding farm-mortgage surveys, all Production Credit
Association loans were considered non-real estate debt. The
primary security for such loans is crop or chattel mortgages
although in infrequent cases real estate mortgages may be taken
as additional security. When identifiable, Production Credit
Association loans reported on the 1956 survey questionnaire were
deleted in the editing process. Similarly, all identifiable operat-
ing loans of the Farmers' Home Administration were deleted
although they sometimes are secured by real estate mortgages in
addition to the usual crop or chattel mortgages. In the editing-
process, care was taken to delete all non-real estate indebtedness
which could be identified as such.
Age of operator. — The ago of the farm operator, as ascertained
in the 1954 Census of Agriculture, was copied onto transcription
cards. These age figures were transferred, with other informa-
tion, onto punch cards. Thus, it is possible to present herein
some characteristics of mortgaged farms of full owners and of
part owners, arrayed according to the age of the operator in 1954.
A distribution of all full owners and of all part owners had already
been made in an earlier phase of the processing of the 1954 Census
of Agriculture data. Table 14 presents an array of all full owners
and of all part owners, b}' age, and the proportion in each of these
tenure groups which had a mortgage on their own land. The
array, by age, for the entire group of full owners and of part
owners was based en the age reported, in 1954, for the 1954 sample
group of farms. (See Introduction of Volume II of the reports
of the 1954 Census of Agriculture for a full description of this
sample.) The array, by age (prevailing at the taking of the 1954
Census), for the mortgaged full owners and for the mortgaged
part owners is based on an expansion of data representing the
encumbered farms (as of January 1, 1956) for a smaller group
of farms.
The proportion of farms of full owners which were under
mortgage, by age groups, is given herein for 1930, 1940, and 1956
(latter adjusted to the 1954 number of farms). A similar age dis-
tribution was made for several Censuses prior to 1930. Data for
these earlier years may be found in Volume III of the reports for
the 1940 Census of Agriculture. That report also gives some age
data distributed by mortgage status and by color of operator.
No age data, for mortgaged farms, are available from the 1945
and 1950 Censuses. A distribution of part-owner farm operators,
by mortgage status, by age is available only for 1940 and 1956.
The average age of full owners and of part owners, by mortgage
status, is available only for 1940. These averages appear in
Volume III of the reports for the 1940 Census of Agriculture.
Economic class of farm. — For the 1954 Census of Agriculture,
farms were divided into two major groups — commercial farms and
other farms and each group was subdivided as follows:
Commercial farms were divided into six groups on the basis
of the total value of all farm products sold, as follows:
Class of farm Value of farm products sold
I .-_. $25,000 or more.
II . $10,000 to $24,999.
III_ $5,000 to $9,999.
IV $2,500 to $4,999.
V $1,200 to $2,499.
VI $250 to $1,199.1
■ Farms were classified as Class VI only when the farm operator reported that
he worked oft the farm less than 100 days, and that the income the farm operator
and members of his family received from nonfarm sources was less than the total
value of all farm products sold.
Other farms have been grouped into three classes as follows:
Part-time farms. — Farms with a value of sales of farm
products of $250 to $1,199 were classified as part time if the
farm operator reported (a) 100 or more days of work off the
farm in 1954, or (b) the other income received by him and
members of his family was greater than the value of farm
products sold.
Residential farms. — Residential farms include all farms
except abnormal farms with a total value of farm products
sold of less than $250. Some of these represent farms on
which the operator worked off the farm more than 100 days
in 1954. Some represent farms on which the income from
nonfarm sources was greater than the value of sales of agri-
cultural products. Others represent subsistence and marginal
farms of various kinds. Some farms are included here which,
if the classification were based on farm production for more
than 1 year, might have qualified as commercial farms.
Abnormal farms. — Insofar as it was possible to identify them,
abnormal farms include all public and private institutional
farms, community enterprises, experiment-station farms,
grazing associations, etc. Abnormal farms were usually con-
sidered to be corporate-operated farms. As mentioned
before, all corporate farms were considered to be free of
mortgage.
Farms by type. — The classification of farms by type was made
on the basis of the relationship of the value of sales from a par-
ticular source or sources to the total value of all farm products
sold from the farm. In some cases, the type of farm was de-
termined on the basis of the sale of an individual farm product,
such as cotton, or on the basis of closely related products, such
as dairy products. In other cases, the type was determined on
the basis of sales of a broader group of products such as corn,
sorghums, all small grains, field peas, field beans, cowpeas, and
soybeans. Part-time, residential, and abnormal farms were not
classified by type. In order to be classified as a particular type,
sales or anticipated sales of a product or a group of products had
to represent 50 percent or more of the total value of products sold.
The data given in this report by type of farm relate only to
commercial farms operated by full owners.
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
11
The types of farms for which data are shown, together with
the product of group of products on which the classification is
based, are:
Type of farm Product or group of products amounting to SO percent
or mart of the value of all farm products sold
Cotton Cott on (lint and seed) .
Cash-grain Corn, sorghum, small grains, field peas,
field beans, cowpeas, and soybeans.
Other field-crop Peanuts, Irish potatoes, sweetpotatoes,
tobacco, sugarcane, sugar beets for
sugar, and other miscellaneous crops.
Vegetable Vegetables.
Fruit-and-nut Berries and other small fruits, and tree
fruits, nuts, and grapes.
Dairy Milk and other dairy products. The
criterion of 50 percent of the total
sales was modified in the case of dairy
farms. A farm for which the value
of sales of dairy products represented
less than 50 percent of the total value
of farm products sold was classified
as a dairy farm if —
(a) Milk and other dairy products
accounted for 30 percent or
more of the total value of
products sold, and
(.6) Milk cows represented 50 per-
cent or more of all cows, and
(c) Sales of dairy products, together
with the sales of cattle and
calves, amounted to 50 per-
cent or more of the total value
of farm products sold.
Poultry Chickens, eggs, turkeys, and other
poultry products.
Livestock farms other Cattle, calves, hogs, sheep, goats, wool,
than dairy and poul- and mohair, provided the farm did
try. not qualify as a dairy farm.
General Farms were classified as general when
the value of products from one source
or group of sources did not represent
as much as 50 percent of the total
value of all farm products sold. Sep-
arate figuies are given for three kinds
of general farms:
(a) Primarily crop.
(6) Primarily livestock,
(c) Crop and livestock.
Primarily crop farms are those for which
the sale of one of the following crops
or groups of crops — vegetables, fruits
and nuts, cotton, cash grains, or other
field crops — did not amount to 50
percent or more of the value of all
farm products sold, but for which the
value of sales for all these groups of
crops represented 70 percent or more
of the value of all farm products sold.
Primarily livestock farms are those which
could not qualify as dairy farms,
poultry farms, or livestock farms
other than dairy and poultry, but for
which the sale of livestock and poul-
try and livestock and poultry prod-
ucts amounted to 70 percent or more
of the value of all farm products sold.
General crop and livestock farms are
those which could not be classified as
either crop farms or livestock farms,
but for which the sale of all crops
amounted to at least 30 percent but
less than 70 percent of the total value
of all farm products sold.
Miscellaneous This group of farms includes those that
had 50 percent or more of the total
value of products accounted for by
sale of horticultural products, or sale
of horses, or sale of forest products.
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
Farm-mortgage debt on January 1, 1956, for the United States,
is estimated at $9,060 million, an increase of 62 percent from the
amount on January 1, 1950. In this 6-year period there were
significant increases, not only in the amount of outstanding farm-
mortgage debt, but also in the proportion and number of owner-
operated farms which were mortgaged and in the acreage and
value of mortgaged farms. However, the average ratio of debt
to value for mortgaged farms for 1956 was slightly below that
for 1950. Interest rates on farm mortgages rose in this period,
and increases in the amount of farm-mortgage debt held were
shown by all important types of lenders.
Amount of farm-mortgage debt. — The estimate of $9,066 million
for farm-mortgage debt for January 1, 1956, compares with $5,579
million on January 1, 1950. Although there was an increase of
62 percent during the 6-year period, the 1956 total was about
6 percent below the $9,631 million estimated for 1930. The peak
in farm-mortgage debt occurred in 1923 when the total was $10,786
million, according to estimates of the United States Department
of Agriculture. The lowest point reached following the 1923 high
was in 1946 when the United States Department of Agriculture
estimate of total farm-mortgage debt was $4,760 million. Since
1946, the total has increased each year. The average annual
increase in the years 1950 to 1955 was about $581 million, or
about 4^2 times the average annual increase during the years 1945
to 1949.
Factors in the increase in farm-mortgage debt from 1950 to
1956 include a rise in farm real estate values which tends to increase
the amount which may be borrowed on the security of farm mort-
gages. The average value per acre of land in mortgaged farms
was estimated at $104 per acre for January 1, 1956, which com-
pares with $73 per acre 6 years earlier. Second, although the
rate of farm transfers according to the United States Department
of Agriculture estimates, was lower during the 1950-55 period
than during the 1946-49 period, the proportion of sales involving
credit financing was higher in the latter period and the ratio of
debt to consideration in credit-financed sales was also higher.
Third, the availability of farm-mortgage credit appears to have
been generally adequate during this period. The Farm Credit
Administration estimates that the average annual amount of farm
mortgages recorded was $1,887 million during the years 1950-55,
an increase of 38 percent from the average of $1,363 million during
the 1945-49 period.
Farm-mortgage debt on full-owner farms in 1956 was 52 percent
higher than in 1950, while there was an increase of 96 percent
in the debt on part-owner farms (operator-owned portion only).
Debt on land rented or managed by farm operators rose 58 per-
cent in the same 6-year period.
Increases in total farm-mortgage debt were generally higher in
the South and West than in the North. On a geographic division
basis, the highest rate of increase from 1950 to 1956, 90 percent,
occurred in the Mountain States and the lowest increase, 34 per-
cent, was in the New England States.
Average debt per mortgaged full-owner farm in 1956 was $5,200
compared with an average value of $19,400 and the owner's equity
of $14,200. For the operator-owned portions of part-owner farms
the average debt, value, and equity per farm were, respectively,
$6,300, $24,700, and $18,400. The average ratio of debt to value
for all mortgaged farms in 1956 was 25.0 percent which was not
significantly below the 25.3 figure for 1950. The 1956 debt to
value ratios were 27 percent for mortgaged full-owner farms, 25
percent for the operator-owned portions of part-owner farms, and
21 percent for rented and managed land. For each tenure, the
ratio of debt to value in 1956 was about the same as in 1950.

FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
Number of owner-operated mortgaged farms. — The total num-
ber of owner-operated mortgaged farms in 1956 (including only the
operator-owned portion of part-owner farms) is estimated as
1,278,000, an increase of 9 percent from the 1,176,000 mortgaged
in 1950. The increase in the number of mortgaged owner-
operated farms occurred notwithstanding a decrease of 8 percent
in the total number of owner-operated farms. The proportion of
owner-operated farms which were mortgaged was 35 percent in
1956 as compared with 30 percent in 1950 and 44 percent in 1940.
As in previous Censuses, the proportion of part-owner farms which
were mortgaged in 1956 was higher than that for full owners. In
1956, 42 percent of the part-owner farms had mortgage indebted-
ness as compared with 33 percent of full-owner farms.
In every geographic division the proportion of owner-operated
farms mortgaged was higher in 1956 than in 1950. The lowest
proportions of full-owner farms mortgaged in 1956 were in the
South Atlantic and East South Central States where only 26 per-
cent were mortgaged. The highest proportion mortgaged was 46
percent in the Pacific States; in the Mountain States, the propor-
tion was 44 percent, and in the New England States, it averaged
42 percent. In the case of part-owner farms (operator-owned
portion only), 54 percent were mortgaged in the New England
States and 51 percent in the Pacific States, but in the South
Atlantic and East South Central States the ratio of mortgaged
part-owner farms to the total was only 37 percent.
Acreage in mortgaged farms. — Total land in mortgaged farms
on January 1, 1956, is estimated as 348,687,000 acres, about 30
percent of the total land in all farms. This represents an increase
of 45,077,000 acres, or 15 percent, since 1950. Not all of the land
in mortgaged farms is actually under mortgage. Data on land
actually under mortgage are not available for 1956, but estimates
of the United States Department of Agriculture indicated that 81
percent of all land in mortgaged farms was mortgaged in 1950.
(Bierman, R. W., United States Mortgaged Farms, 1950: Esti-
mates by Ratio of Debt to Value. United States Department of
Agriculture, Agr. Res. Serv., ARS 43-13, 54 pp., illus. August
1955.) The ratio of land in mortgaged farms to total land in all
farms varied, by tenure in 1956, from 16 percent for rented and
managed land to 38 percent for full-owner farms and to 45 percent
for operator-owned land in part-owner farms.
The average size of mortgaged full-owner farms in 1956 was 164
acres as compared with 151 acres in 1950. As in previous Cen-
suses, mortgaged full-owner farms were usually larger than those
free from mortgage. The average size of unmortgaged full-owner
farms in 1956 was 135 acres. Similarly, part owners with a
mortgage, as an average, owned and operated 318 acres while
those free from debt owned and operated only 288 acres. Mort-
gaged full-owner farms averaged larger than those free from debt
in all geographic divisions except in the Pacific Division. In the
case of part owners (operator-owned portion only) the mortgaged
farms averaged larger than those free from debt except in the
West North Central and Mountain States.
Value of mortgaged farms. — The estimated average value per
acre of land in mortgaged farms in 1956 was $104 as compared to
$73 in 1950. Land free from debt had a 1956 average value of $87
per acre while the average for all land in farms is estimated as $92.
In 1950, the average value per acre for all farms was $64. The
general pattern in this and in previous recent Censuses, for owner-
operated lands, is for land in mortgaged farms to have a higher
value, on the average, than land in farms free from debt. The
estimated value of land actually under mortgage is not shown in
this report; estimates of the United States Department of Agri-
culture are that, in 1950, mortgaged land accounted for 85 percent
of the value of all land in mortgaged farms and that mortgaged
land averaged 31 percent higher in value per acre than unmort-
gaged land in mortgaged farms. (Bierman, R. W., United States
Mortgaged Farms, 1950: Estimates by Ratio of Debt to Value.
United States Department of Agriculture, Agr. Res. Serv., ARS
43-13, 54 pp., illus. August 1955.)
The average value of mortgaged full-owner farms in 1956 was 35
percent above that for full-owner farms free from debt, and this
difference was observed in each geographic division. For the
United States, the average value of land and buildings in all full-
owner farms was $16,000, those which were mortgaged were
valued at $19,400, and those free from debt had an average value
of $14,400. The operator-owned portions of mortgaged part-
owner farms were valued at $24,700 on the average while the
average value for those free from debt was $19,800 in 1956.
The proportion of the total value for all farms represented by
the value of land and buildings for mortgaged farms rose, for each
tenure group, from 1950 to 1956. In 1956, 40 percent of the total
value of full-owner farms was in mortgaged farms, and the propor-
tions were 48 percent for the operator-owned portions of part-
owner farms and 22 percent for rented and managed land. Differ-
ences in these proportions, between tenures, are, in general,
similar to those for previous Censuses.
Interest charges and rates. — The average interest rate on total
outstanding farm-mortgage debt on January 1, 1956, was 4.7
percent which compares with 4.5 percent in 1950 and 1945, 4.6
percent in 1940, and 6.0 percent in 1930. The average rate was
4.8 percent for full owners, 4.7 percent for part owners, and 4.6
percent for farm-mortgage debt secured by rented and managed
land. A higher rate for full owners than for other tenures was
reported in 1950 when the rate for full owners was 4.5 percent and
that for part owners and for tenant- and manager-operated farms
was 4.4 percent.
In 1956, by geographic divisions, the highest average interest
rates were in the South Atlantic States where the average was 5.1
percent. The lowest rates were in the West North Central
States where they averaged 4.4 percent. The regional pattern
of farm-mortgage interest rates is similar to that reported for the
1950 and previous Censuses of Agriculture.
Interest rates vary considerably between types of lender. In
general, rates of individual and miscellaneous lenders and oper-
ating banks were highest followed in order by life insurance com-
panies, the Federal land banks, and the Farmers' Home Admin-
istration. Loans of the Farmers' Home Administration reported
in the 1956 survey carried an average rate of 3.9 percent. The
Farm Credit Administration reports an average rate of 4.1 percent
on Federal land bank loans on January 1, 1956. At that time,
9 of the 12 Federal land banks had a rate of 4.0 percent. The
Federal land banks of Springfield, Mass. and Baltimore, Md.,
charged 4.5 percent, and the Federal Land Bank of Columbia,
S. C, had a rate of 5.0 percent. Life insurance companies are
the most important institutional lenders, and their borrowers
reported an average rate of 4.6 percent. All operating banks
(commercial, savings, and private) averaged 4.9 percent. Farm-
mortgage interest rates for indebtedness held by individuals aver-
aged 4.7 percent and for miscellaneous lenders averaged 5.0
percent. In general, the average rates by lenders display similar
regional patterns and tend to be higher in the South and in New
England and lowest in the North Central States.
Miscellaneous lenders in the West South Central Division show
a relatively low average rate of interest. This is partly the result
of various States in this division authorizing veteran's loans at
low interest rates. Interest rates in the miscellaneous lender
group are also affected by an increased volume of low interest
drought relief loans, particularly in Oklahoma and Texas.
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
13
In general, interest rates on mortgages held by individuals were
lower than those of either banks or miscellaneous lenders. This
may be explained, in part, by the practice of many farm operators
to sell their farms to members of their own families or for individ-
uals to make loans to relatives at a low rate of interest. Many
individuals who sell farm real estate, and receive a mortgage as
part of the consideration, are willing to accept a lower rate of
interest than lending institutions which rely solely on investment
income.
The most common interest rates charged on farm mortgages
outstanding January 1, 1956, were 4 percent, 5 percent, and 6
percent. In the case of full owners with mortgaged farms, 37
percent reported an interest rate between 4.00 and 4.99 percent,
23 percent a rate between 5.00 and 5.99 percent, and 29 percent a
rate between 6.00 and 6.99 percent. Only 5 percent of all full-
owners reported an interest rate of 7.0 percent or more and only 6
percent reported less than 4.0 percent. The distribution of
mortgaged farms of part owners by interest rates was similar to
that of full owners. The proportions of farms reporting higher
interest rates tended to be larger in the Southern and Western
States and smaller in the North Central States than in other areas.
A comparison of the proportions of full owners with mortgaged
farms reporting specified rates of interest on farm mortgages from
1920 to 1956 shows a decline in the proportions in the higher-rate
groups and an increase in the proportions in the middle- and
lower-rate groups. These data appear in Table C. The most
noticeable decrease is in mortgages with rates of 7.00 percent or
more; 29 percent of mortgaged full-owner farms were in this
group in 1920 but by 1956 only 5 percent had this rate. Similarly,
only 3 percent paid less than 5.00 percent interest in 1920, but the
proportion was 46 percent in 1951 and 43 percent in 1956.

Debt held by principal lenders. — While total farm-mortgage
debt increased 62 percent from 1950 to 1956, the rate of increase
varied considerably by type of lender. The highest rate of in-
crease was the 94 percent shown by insurance companies. Other
increases by type of lender were: All operating banks, 44 percent;
Farmers' Home Administration, 47 percent; Federal land banks,
53 percent; and the residual group of individual and miscellaneous
lenders, 59 percent. Of the increase of $3,487 million in total
farm-mortgage debt from 1950 to 1956, 39 percent or $1,374
million is accounted for by increased holdings of individual and
miscellaneous lenders. Holdings of life insurance companies
increased $1,099 million and made up 32 percent of the total
increase, and the increase of $515 million for Federal land banks
was 15 percent of the total increase.
Farm-mortgage holdings of the Federal land banks (including
loans of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation transferred to
the land banks in 1955) increased in nearly every State during
1956

the 1950-56 period. The largest relative increase was 71 percent
in the Mountain Division and the smallest was 19 percent in New
England. In 1956, Federal land bank loans were most important
in the West North Central and West South Central divisions;
there they made up 20 percent of the total.
Life insurance companj' farm mortgage holdings were most
important in the West South Central, West North Central, and
Mountain Divisions accounting for 40, 33, and 31 percent, re-
spectively, of all farm mortgage debt in these divisions. The
greatest increase in insurance company mortgages, 217 percent,
occurred in the South Atlantic Division. In 5 of the 9 geographic
divisions, the increase in farm mortgages held by insurance com-
panies was more than 100 percent from 1950 to 1956.
Farm mortgage loans of all operating banks, as a percentage of
total mortgage debt, was highest in New England with 27 percent.
The West South Central Division showed the largest percentage
increase in bank loans, 6S percent over 1950.
The all other lender group (including individuals and miscel-
laneous lenders) was the largest holder of farm-mortgage debt in
all divisions except the West South Central. These lenders held 81
percent of all farm-mortgage debt in New England, 78 percent in
the Middle Atlantic Division, and 72 percent in the Pacific
Division. Since 1950, the greatest increase in debt held by this
group of lenders, 81 percent, occurred in the South Atlantic
Division.
Ratio of debt to value. — The largest number of mortgaged farms
(full owners and part owners combined) in every geographic
division fell into the ratio of debt-to-value groups of 10-19 percent
and 20-29 percent. This was also true for full-owner and part-
owner farms individually with the exception of the South Atlantic
Division where the number of full-owner farms was highest in the
under-10 percent and the 10-19 percent ratio of debt-to-value
groups. The number of mortgaged farms with ratio of debt to
value of 30 percent or higher generally declined as the ratios
increased so that only 5 percent of all mortgaged farms had ratios
of 80 percent or above.
Land in mortgaged farms was distributed among the ratio of
debt-to-value groups in nearly the same proportions as number
of farms. The 10-19 percent group and the 20-29 percent group
contained the largest number of acres in most divisions. There
appeared to be a negative relationship between average number
of acres per mortgaged farm and ratio of debt to value. Farms
with low ratios of debt to value tended to be larger than farms
with high debt-to-value ratios.
Value of land and buildings on mortgaged farms was highest
in the under-10 percent and the 10-19 percent ratio of debt-to-
value groups. Average values per farm and per acre tended to
decline as the ratio of debt to value increased.
The debt-to-value comparisons would indicate that high debt
ratios occur most frequently among farms having relatively small
acreages and low total values.
Mortgage debt by age of operator. — The available data indicate
that farm operators, whose farms are mortgaged, are somewhat
younger than those whose farms are free from mortgage indebted-
ness. The median age of all full-owners in 1954 was 54.0 years
as compared with 47.8 years for those reporting mortgage indebted-
ness in 1956. The age group under 35 shows a higher proportion
of mortgaged farms than any other group. As the age of the
operator increases, the percentage of the mortgaged farms decreases.
For full-owners, 56.8 percent of those under 35 years of age were
operating mortgaged farms as compared with 15.6 percent of those
65 years or older.
14
FARM-MORTGAGE DEBT
The distribution, by age, for mortgaged farms operated by
part-owners is similar to that for full-owners. The median age
of 44.5 for part-owners reporting mortgage indebtedness compares
with the median age of 47.7 for all part owners.
The increased proportion of mortgaged farms in the under-35
age group, in 1956 as compared with 1940, reflects, in part, the
increasing requirements and opportunities for use of capital by
beginning farm-operators and also their willingness and ability to
incur a mortgage for the purchase or expansion of their farm
enterprise. It may also indicate a more rapid movement of young
farmers from tenant to owner-operator status.
The concentration of the amount of mortgage debt among
younger operators is further shown in Tables 15 and 16. Average
mortgate debt per farm and per acre was highest in the under-35-
years-of-age group. Ratio of debt to value and average debt
declined as age of operator increased. Average size and average
value of mortgaged farms in each age group generally increased
with age of operator.
Mortgage debt by economic class of farm. — Table D shows the
proportion of mortgaged full-owner farms and part-owner farms
in each economic class. Since gross income is the chief determi-
nant of economic class, the data in that table reveal a high positive
correlation between gross income per farm and the occurrence of
mortgage debt. These data and those in Table 17 indicate that,
for full-owners, commercial farms represent 58 percent of all farms

but account for 66 percent of all mortgaged farms. Likewise,
from Table D and Table 18, it is shown that commercial farms
account for 87 percent of all part-owner farms and 92 percent of
mortgaged farms.
The average size of farm, the average value of land and build-
ings, and the average amount of mortgage debt for mortgaged
farms tended to be higher for farms with relatively high gross
income. Average size, value, and debt per farm and per acre
showed a rather constant decrease from Economic Class I through
Economic Class VI.
A negative correlation exists, in a limited degree, between ratio
of debt to value and gross income per farm. Farms with high
gross income generally had lower debt-to-value ratios than did
low-income farms. The relatively large debt per farm and per
acre among high-income farms was apparently more than offset by
the high value of land and buildings in these economic classes.
Debt loads, as measured by ratios of debt to value, were usually
highest among relatively low-income farms.
Mortgage debt by type of farm. — Tables E and 19 contain data
for 1956 for mortgaged full-owner commercial farms by type of
farm. There are no comparable data for earlier years. Without
these, observations on trends cannot be made. It is apparent
that certain types of farms are located predominantly in one
region and are thus influenced by characteristics of that region.
Table E shows the proportion of full-owner commercial farms
mortgaged by type of farm. The data in that table indicate as
much of a variation in proportion of farms mortgaged for a given
type among regions as between types in the same region. The
highest proportion of mortgaged farms for each type, with one
exception, is in the West. The South had the lowest proportion
of mortgaged farms with the exception of one type.
Variations in average size of farm, average value of land and
buildings, and average mortgage debt by type of farm, as shown
in Table 19, reflect differences in the characteristics of various
types of mortgaged farms in each geographic division. For the
United States, two types, field-crop farms other than vegetable
and fruit-and-nut and livestock farms other than dairy and poultry,
account for more than one-half of all land, value, and debt in
mortgaged full-owner commercial farms.
Ratio of debt to value, for the United States as a whole, shows
less variation than average size, value, and debt by type of farm.
Dairy farms have the highest ratio of debt to value, 31.8 percent,
while vegetaWe farms have the lowest with a 22.0 percent ratio.
