Greene County Farmers Benefit From Better Weather And Prices
A 1965 nationwide farm survey by Standard Rate and Data Service shows Greene County farm revenue reaching 12 411 000 dollars, up from 12 157 000 in 1964. Cash receipts come mainly from crops and livestock with 45 percent from crops and 55 from livestock, poultry and dairy products. The local farm population earned about 2 140 dollars per person, 5.6 percent above 1964. The report notes rising expenses limit net income and forecasts a 1.5 billion dollar rise in national net farm income due to higher prices and expanded production under eased acreage controls.
