Ohio farm income outlook worsens amid drought loss
Ohio State University economist Lynn Forster estimates up to 50 percent drop in net farm income this year due to continuing drought. Commercial farms average 35 000 dollars yearly, with 15 000 full time operations. small farms number about 65 000 averaging 32 000 dollars with 7 000 dollars from farming. Off farm income softens blow for both groups, but break even is possible for small farms.
