Farm Income Down for Kansas and Nation in 1967
The 1967 net farm income is estimated at 14.75 billion dollars, 10 percent below 1966. Rising costs and falling prices drive the slump, with 1968 possibly showing only a small gain as farmers lag behind overall economic growth, says Kansas State University economist Jack Richards.

Food Stamp Expansion Adds Kansas Counties in 1968
The USDA will add Atchison and Greenwood counties in Kansas to the food stamp program in the first half of 1968, expanding access to about 600,000 more low income people. The move brings Kansas to seven counties in the program and ties into broader national gains in food assistance and farm income outlook for 1968.

Skill in Management to Determine Profit
Kansas farmers face profit choices in 1968 with higher costs. Wheat remains a strong crop, milo may offer opportunities, and diverting feed grain bases could improve loan and price-support payments. Non-feed costs loom, especially in wintering calves, so careful management and cost control are essential for better returns.
