Nebraska heads 1928 agricultural census drive gains in dairy efforts
Next week about 1500 precinct assessors in Nebraska will begin collecting data for the 1928 agricultural census. The survey covers crop acreage, home conveniences, cattle breeds and numbers, honey production, beehives, grain storage, and other farm data. Results trace back to 1906 and Nebraska is noted for a comprehensive census system. Dairy cattle rose since 1920 while total cattle numbers declined, milk production and output per cow increased, driven by dairy stock imports and better herd management. Creameries and cheese factories are expanding across the state as dairying grows.
