3 Floyd Valley For Plymouth county's farm population, the past year proved to be a better one. by and large, than it was for farmers and in sections of the country. Although some operators did little more than break even, others, especially those with well-equipped, commercial-size setups, did quite well. Despite the fact that prices obtained for farm products and livestock were at a low level during the first half of the year, they picked up somewhat in the second half. As a result, many farmers were able to report bigger-than-average gross incomes.

The better showing was due. in part, to favorable weather conditions, bigger plantings and heavier fertilization. Also a factor was improved operating efficiency, made possible by the use of more mechanical equipment. The figures on the year's operations, for the local area and for other sections of the country, are contained in a survey report released by the Standard Rate and Data Service- In Plymouth county, it finds farm receipts amounted to S86.057.000 By way of comparison, three years ago. when a similar survey was made, the total was The increase 20,2 percent, was above average.

Elsewhere in the United States there was a 15 6 percent rise and. in the west north central states, a 19.0 percent rise. The income figure represents gross receipts, before taxes and operating costs are taken into account. Included are the cash proceeds from farm marketings, government payments and "income in kind." which is the value of products grown and consumed on the farm. Of the cash receipts from the sale of farm goods, an estimated 15 percent came from crops and 85 percent from livestock, poultry and dairy products.

As for net income, that is another story Inflation wiped out a good part of the prospective gains because prices paid by farmers for production items, interest, taxes and wages rose considerably during the period. The rise was about 5 percent in 1971. according to the department of agriculture This year, however, prospects appear to be much brighter, except in areas that were hit by tropical storm Agnes. Aided better prices for most commodities, the farm community as a whole is looking forward to ending 1972 in better shape than it has for some time.
