Farm Expenses Rising Faster Than the Profits

A study of about a thousand Iowa farms since 1940 shows gross production per farm rising from 5730 dollars in 1940 to 17696 dollars in 1954, a 300 percent gain, while expenses increased about 375 percent. Livestock income per 100 dollars of feed fed has fallen since 1940, indicating profits lag behind rising costs. H B Howell of Iowa State College notes farm record keepers often fare better, but the trends reflect farming across Iowa.
