Two Iowa Farms Show Wide Labor Income Gap
A Iowa State College survey finds two Black Hawk County farms within miles of each other differed by 6000 in labor income last year. One earned 6000 from 156 acres valued at 265, while the other earned 1000 from 160 acres valued at 280 due to feeding livestock and better crops. Feeding poor stock and pasturing on cheap land explains much of the gap.
