Farm Investment
Averages $14,000
Behind each of the 8'i million
farm operators, hired hands, and
family workers on United States
farms, there lies an average cap
ital investment of about $14,000,
according to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture economists.
This amount four times the
1940 average per farm worker of
$3,500 is invested in land, farm
buildings, livestock and feed in
ventories, machinery and equip
ment, and cash for operating ex
penses. It does not include ap
proximately $5,000 per worker
invested in houses, automobiles,
household goods, and savings.
Inflation has been the princi
pal factor in the increase in dol
lar value of farm resources in re
lation to number of workers the
same resources would have been
valued at $6,000 in 1940 dollars.
But two other developments also
have been responsible for this
actual increase in resources per
farm worker. Farmers have
bought much new machinery and
equipment; they have added to
their buildings; and they have
improved their land a great deal.
In addition, the number of farm
workers has been shrinking and
is now about a fourth less than
in the years immediately preced
ing World War II.
Most striking is the increased
investment in machinery and
equipment. Average value of
equipment at the disposal of each
farm worker today is nearly
$1,900, as compared with $200
worth of machinery and equip
ment per worker In 1940.
u
Farm operators m the U. S
realized a net income of $11,984
million during 1954, according to
preliminary estimates. This was
10 per cent less than they receiv
ed in 1953.
The foundation of soil conser
vation farming is proper land use.
