Rising Costs Offset Many Gains in County Farming
Washington County farmers show gross income of 41.584 million dollars in the past year, up 34 percent from five years ago, aided by greater use of machinery and intensive cultivation. About 25 percent came from crops and 75 percent from livestock, dairy, and poultry sales, with government payments included. However, taxes, wages, fuel, and feed costs rose, offsetting some gains.
