Arkansas Ag Real Estate to Developments

Found this table on the American Farmland Trust Website - Found it interesting.  Note this table is old - through 1997. 

 

This is 10 years old.  At the rate that the Northwest Arkansas and Central Arkansas areas have been cut up into subdivisions - the new statistic has to be outrageous.
