Billion Dollar Drop Reported In Farm Income
Total farm income last year was a little more than 19 billion dollars with an individual average of 860 dollars, down from just under 20 billion and 913 dollars the year before. Nonfarm income rose to 275 billion total, 1 922 dollars per person, over twice the farm average.
