Gross Farm Income for Erath Co.
Holds Average With $14,423,000
Despite the yearly ups and
downs connected with agricul-
ture, farming continues to be
big business in Erath County.
Most local farmers held their
own last year and a number of
them made out better than be-
fore, even though income in
many parts of the country fell
considerably behind 1966.
In the face of setbacks in the
form/of lower prices for crops
in general and higher costs for
the things that had to be bought,
local farms Mood up well in com-
parison. , ’
The finding are based upon
a national survey made by the
Standard Rate and Data Serv-
ice and upon reports issued by
the* Department of Agriculture
and others.
The figures for Erath County
show that local fanners had a
gross income in the past year
of 314,423,000. ■
That represented total rece-
ipts, before deductions for tax-
es, labor costs, interest and ot-
her operating expenses .
The bulk of it came from the
sale of farm products, with the
rest of it consist of govern-
ment payments and “income-
in-kind,” which is the value of
the home-grown products used
on the farm.
An estimated 13 percent of
the income from farm market-
ings came from the sale of crops
and 87 percent from sales of
livestock, poultry and dairy pro-
ducts.
For the farm population of
Erath County, the gross rece-
ipts were at the rate of $4,242
per person.
he Joe Harrison. Harrison, a
licensed flight instructor, is a
teaching assistant in the Tar-
leton biology department.
The program will be effect-
ive this semester and is open to
senior ROTC students and irre-
gular juniors. Applicants must
pass the Army Flight Physical
Aptitude Battery Exams.
This topped the average fo
und in the local area in 1966,
34,060 per person.
While the average American
farmer has been able to boost
his production through more
intensive fertilization and the
increased use of tractors and
other mechanized equipment
he has not succeeded in turn-
ing this gain into added net
income.
The cost price squeeze has
been agaiQst him. Inflation has
driven up the cost of virtually
everything he has to buy, but
the prices he obtains for his
products have not been keeping
pace. .
In the past year, as a matter
of fact, with some exceptions
for livestock, there has been a
general decline in that direc-
tion. The year’s huge crop prod-
uction forced prices lower
than before.
