Excerpt from 1960 Agricultural Finance Outlook The expected rise in taxes payable on farm real estate will bring taxes to a record per acre. This represents an increase of 65 percent in 10 years. The basic cause of the continued increase in taxes levied on farm real estate lies in the steadily expanding revenue requirements of local governments. Taxes levied by these governments go for the support of many services including public education, roads, and public welfare. General expenditures of local government have been rising in recent years at the rate of close to 10 percent per year. There is little indication of any significant change in this trend in the immediate future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
