Nebraska Farm and Ranch Numbers Fall Since 1959
A Nebraska Farm Bureau study based on the 1964 U S Census of Agriculture shows more than 80 000 farms and ranches in 1964, down about 10 000 from 1959 and 20 000 from 1954. Commercial operations exceed 71 000, with average farm size rising to 654 acres from 528 in 1959 and 471 in 1954. Ownership increased about 4 percent per five years, tenancy declined, and the median operator age rose with fewer farms and rising ages.
