Nebraskas Farm Profits Show Wide Regional Gaps
Lincoln Neb farmers report 1300 to 3400 dollars in net income last year with top groups averaging up to 7700 dollars. Ralph Cole of the agricultural college summarizes 326 farmers figures across districts, noting big farms dominate profits and regional variations. Western counties show highest per-farm returns while eastern and central areas trail, and dairy or poultry enterprises boost small-farm viability. In another item, Lincoln notes the Nebraska delegation to the national American Legion convention will wear shirts as a bet payoff after Omaha and Louisville post contests ended with Louisville winning 2903 to 714.
