67 Farm Income Down for Southwest Iowa Farmers
Net farm income for a group of southwest Iowa farms in 1967 fell 47 percent from 1966, averaging 4942 dollars versus 15743. Data from Fremont County and other southwest Iowa records appear in the 1967 Farm Business Summary by ISU economists. Lower income stemmed from weaker livestock feeding, margins, yields, and prices, with livestock income over feed costs dropping from 8981 to 6302. Beef made up 46 percent of the livestock rise, hogs dominated on small farms, cereals and crops lost five bushels per acre, and the average farm size was 297 acres.
