Ridge tillage survey results and farm budget trends
The 1986 ridge tillage survey in Ohio and Eastern Indiana shows 30 inch ridges as a peak in 1983 with clay loam soils on slopes up to six percent. Sixty seven percent report higher yields in ridged rows and costs decline by twenty to fifty dollars per acre. Ohio farmers rank farm survival costs and soil water management as top issues. The county general fund receipts have doubled since 1982 from 12.7 to 25.3 million dollars yearly, led by sales tax and supported by intergovernmental and property taxes.

Nearly 80 Ohio Farm Bureau county presidents visited Washington to oppose a new diesel tax for farmers and a rule blocking preproduction cost write offs for two years after birth of dairy heifers. John Born of Henrietta cited tax timing, quarterly refunds, and depreciation needs, urging repeal. He criticized the Gephardt amendment for mandatory trade retaliation that could isolate U.S. agricultural producers.
