The article explains that a farmer's income includes not only cash profits but also food shelter and fuel provided by the farm. A U.S. Department of Agriculture study of 438 farm families shows average per-person annual maintenance costs of 176 dollars, with most support coming as in-kind benefits. In North Carolina areas studied, the farm supplied about 429 dollars of annual value per person in direct goods, leaving 76 dollars bought. Food dominates the in-kind share, with animal products and produce largely home-grown. Groceries remain the largest cash expense, suggesting raising more vegetables and animal products could cut costs, or focusing on cash crops to raise receipts. The article notes that rent and labor, often overlooked, add to income once valued properly, because the farmer benefits from the non-cash contributions of family labor and housing. Ultimately, the farmer’s true income equals cash receipts plus in-kind benefits plus imputed labor and housing, balanced against capital costs and required interest.
