The Cedarville Herald, Volume 72, Numbers 1-26

\i. le Cedarville, O- Herald Friday, December 24, >XS'48 ^Along t h e Greene County Farm Front Gross cashincome to Green© County farmers from, the sale of . | agricultural products reached an | all time high of $15,744,700.00 in 1947 according to a report from the Eural Economics Depart­ ment o f Ohio State University. The income from sales, plus $125,200 government payments,. , made a total agricultural income | o f $15,869,900. This is an average i o f §6,933 for* each of the 2289 farms in the county or $67.40 each of the 235.458 acres in farms. Of the gross cash income hogs contributed 5-1 percent o f the to­ tal, dairy 14 percent, wheat 8 percent, cattle 7 nercent, poultry 6 percent,, and all others 5 per­ cent. For 1946 the gross income fo r the county was $12,672,600 or $5,53G per farm or $53.82 per acre. For the year 1945 the. in­ come was $9,932,200 or $4,339 per farm or $42.18 per acre. A check on the records show that fo r the year 1932 the gross cash farm income for Greene county was $1,829,000. This was an average o f $837 per farm or $7.66 per acre. Conservation payments have been on the increase during the past three years with payments amounting to $94,300 in 1945; $100,900 in 1946; and $125,000 itt 1947. There has also been some shift in the source o f income. Receipts li from sales of hogs, cattle, and i corn have been on the increase; while there has been a decline in total income from dairy pro­ ducts, wheat and poultry. The relative farm price of these com- mod'-Hes has been responsible fo r this change. NET INCOME DROPS IN 1918 While local figures are not a~ vailable fo r 1948, the U. S. De­ partment of Agriculture foreast that fai’nieis of the nation will take in a little more money this year than last despite declining farm prices the past three months. But net income will not he as high as 1947 because of higher production expenses. Prices re­ ceived by farmers reached a peak in July of this year; how­ ever farmer’s real income or purchasing power of their in­ come reached a peak in 1946. Volume of both production and market-ngs was somewhat less than last year in spite of very favorable weather. The decrease was in volume of livestock mark­ eted. 1949 AGRICULTURAL OUT­ LOOK Farmer’s net income in 1949 is expected to remain high ac­ cording to the farm management extension staff of Ohio State University. It -will be less than _if. 1948 but higher than any time "t>revi'ij^r to 1946. As gross in­ come have declined slightly, the costs of production have been creeping up and narrowing down the net income. Prospective strong consumer demand in 1949 is expected to ms intain most agricultural prices near the 1948 levels. During the .latter half of 1949, supplies o f some agricultural products such as hogs and poultry will increase and prices £ ught decline slightly. Costs in farming in 1949 are expected to remain high and many of them go much higher. Ftjed costs had already been re­ duced by the fall of 1948 and any further decline will be small. tif tarn labor, buildings, machinery, seeds, fertilizer, txes and insuraue all point upward xAthcr than downward. Farmer’s over-all financial position seems to he very good Compared to previous inflation­ ary periods. However, there are [ many uncertainties about the general business situation and farmers should keep themselves prepared to meet their obligat­ ions if net income decline to low­ er levels. Farmers should proceed in purchasing equipment and sup­ plies and even with some build­ ing construction or repairs, pro­ viding these things will make their farming more efficient and wil not cause large indebtness.
