Tractors and Machinery Lead Farm Death Causes
A USDA ERS report shows machinery caused 43 percent of accidental farm deaths in 1973, up from 35 percent two decades earlier. Drowning, guns, falls, blows, burns, electricity, poison and other causes follow. Total annual deaths fell from 2400 in 1980 to under 1600 recently, though the fatality rate per 100000 rose to 16.2 in 1973.

Eat at Home to Save on Food Costs in 1976
The USDA Outlook and Situation Board says 1976 will bring about a 3 percent rise in overall retail food prices. Meals away from home should be about 7 percent higher than 1975, while store-bought at-home foods rise about 2.5 percent. Coffee, labor, and utility costs drive the increases, with farm food values down about 4 percent from last year. The board notes strong supplies and demand, plus higher middlemen costs, but expects prices to stay 2-4 percent above early-1976 averages next year.
