121 Increase Over Previous
Year; More Profit,
More Expenses
How dM the average farmer in
Madison County make out in the
past year?
How much progress has he
made, in terms of gross income,
in the last five years?
Compared with the earnings of
farmers and ranchers in other
parts of the country, his returns
have been relatively good.
The figures for the period are
from a national survey released
by the Standard Rate and Data
Service. It shows that farm re
ceipts in the local area were $1,
683,000 larger in 1968 than they
were five years earlier.
The increase was due, in part,
to better yields per acre. Farmers
were able to produce more than in
former years, despite the cutback
in the amount of land under culti
vation, by pouring on more fertili
zer, by using more mechanical
equipment and by improved tillage
practices.
At the same time, the demand
