Farm Prospects Good in Athens County for 1958
County agricultural agent Kenneth E. Ackerson says 1958 should match or exceed 1957 despite drought risk. Prices for beef, swine, lambs and milk stay strong. feed grains remain plentiful. Milk prices have stayed above the national average and should through 1958. Dairy output rose while dairy numbers fell, and nursery greenhouse income grew to six percent of total farm earnings. Total Athens County farm income exceeds 4.2 million dollars as farming shifts to larger operations and more part time work.
