Netherlands cull continues as herd shrinks since war
September census shows total Dutch cattle at 2,300,000 head, 82 percent of 1939 levels. Dairy cows near 1.3 million, hogs at 1,168,000 with breeding sows down 23 percent. Farmers hold pigs to heavier weights, sow reductions foretell a smaller 1947 pig crop and slower hog recovery.

Farmers Tax Position Improved by Reform and War Years
An Agriculture Department economist says farmers are in their best tax position in history despite higher taxes. The shift from lumped property taxes to diversified taxation ties tax payment to current income, easing foreclosures from the 1930s. In 1945 farm property taxes were 525 million, below 1929’s peak of 640 million, as income and poll taxes rose.

Farmers See Tax Changes Please Caution for Local Increases
Isaacs notes that federal and state tax shares show farmers pay income and sales taxes while gas line and auto taxes rise. He argues farm taxes vary with income and are less likely to force farm loss, though purchasing power falls. He urges readiness for potential local tax increases as communities fund schools and roads.
