Farmland Labor Income Shows Wide Gap in Iowa
Two Black Hawk county farms near the same size and value differ sharply in labor income last year. One farm earned 6000 on 156 acres valued at 265, while the other earned 1000 on 160 acres valued at 280. Feeding livestock and better crops boosted the first farm, while the second relied on poorer stock and pastures, accounting for much of the disparity. The article also urges sugar conservation and offers Thanksgiving menu tips, including recipes like Brown Betty and Indian Pudding, and discusses Iowa State College recommendations for standardizing agricultural equipment speeds and draw bars to reduce costs.
