Franklin County Farms Yield
$19,334,000 In 1963
New York--For Franklin
County's (arm population, 1963
proved to be a better year, by
and large, than It wasfor farm
ers In many parts of the coun
try.
Although some local operat
ors barely held their own In the
year, others, especially those
with well-equipped, commer
cial-size farms, ended up on
the plus side.
They were able to raise more
livestock and produce a larg
er volume of crops than be
fore, despite the smaller
amount of land under cultiva
tion.
Much of this grain was offset,
however, by the drop in prices
for farm products and cattle.
Details on .the year's opera
tions, (or the local area and
(or all other sections o ( the
United States, are contained In
the annual survey report re
leased by the Standard Bate
and Data Service.
It shows that Franklin Coun
ty farmers accounted (or gross
revenues o( $19,334,000 In
1963. It was *19,166,000 the
year before.
This Is a gross (lgure? be
fore taxes and before deduc
tions for operating costs.
Included in it are the cash
proceeds (rom (arm mar
ketings, Government payments
and "Income In kind," which Is
the value o( products grown and
consumed on the (arm.
An estimated 90 percent of the
Income from -the marketing of
farm goods came from the sale
of crops and 10 percent from
the sale of livestock, poultry,
ind dairy products.
While the average American
farmer has been able to boost
Ills production and thereby In
crease his gross receipts, he
has not succeeded in turning
this gain Into added net Income.
The price squeeze has been
against him.
As a result, he has failed
to share In the prosperity en
joyed by the country as a whole.
Only because there are fewer
farmers than before to share
