Farmers Spent Over 42 Billion For Goods in ’61
University Park reports US farmers spent 42 billion dollars in 1961 on goods and services from others and fellow farmers. Dr Russell E Larson of Penn State notes farmers are major customers, buying 13 percent of US petroleum, 8 percent of rubber, 5 million tons of steel, and significant fertilizer use, supporting millions of city jobs through farm prosperity and related commerce. He projects continued 1962 farm income and a sustained market, while noting dairy cows need barn cooling and mastitis prevention.
