Excerpt from Assessment of Farm Real Estate in the United States: February 1960 One fundamental cause of assessment variations is the retention c noded organizations for assessment in a majority of rural assessing juri tions. Too frequently, the farm assessor, who may be elected for a l or year term only, receives little or no special training. Nor does he hay adequate tools as land use and classification maps, such systematic re of the major factors that determine farm value as classifications of soi type, or information as to location of markets, highways, and the like. Order to meet statutory deadlines, he is allowed too little time (as li as 20 to 60 days) to permit the best possible assessment with the tsohui and assessing aids that are available. The constant pressures from prop owners for minimum assessments are only partly offset by counter demands revenue with which to finance local governmental services. The second basic reason for the wide assessment variations reveal most analyses lies in the conceptual and technical difficulties involved placing economic values on thousands of diverse individual properties. Problems, never minor, have become increasingly troublesome for assessor rural properties as the rapid urbanization and industrialization of the economy continues.
