Farm Costs Rise as 1966 Production Falls, Says Ag Department
The Agriculture Department reports 1966 farming costs will rise about 8 percent above 1965’s $30.7 billion while production is expected to drop around 2 percent. Nonfarm commodity services costs climb nearly 5.5 percent and farm-produced items rise about 14 percent. Despite higher costs and lower output, cash receipts should lift net farm income to about $16.2 billion. For 1967 expenses may grow further, with taxes interest and insurance likely up, and production services usage expanding as farmers obtain more direct inputs like feed delivery and building work from suppliers.
