High interest and prices pressure Ohio family farms
Ohio farmers face rising costs and low returns as Trammell, Burrer, and others report deep losses. Trammell works 16 hours daily on a 10 acre dairy while Burrer runs 2,400 acres of grain to stay solvent. Costs outpace milk and crop income, with many lenders and extension agents noting widespread net losses across the region. The group cites needs for higher prices, lower interest rates, and more efficient operations amid export and policy influences.

Cleveland's Lost Youth and a Quiet Brain Drain
Census figures for the 38 large metropolitan areas show Cleveland facing pronounced outmigration of young adults in the 1970s and 1980s. The four-county area fell 8 percent in population, with 20s-age net outflows exceeding 50,000, fueled by limited industrial jobs and postwar migration patterns. The article analyzes cohort shifts from 1951-60 births to 1970s age groups, noting greater losses among young men and the complexity of interpreting census data.
