Farm Expenses Climb 5 - Fold in Decade Farm expenses have increased fivefold in the past 10 years, re ports the Middle West Soil Com mittee, of Chicago, 111., in citing a recent study by Paul Robbins, Purdue university agricultural economist, based on an analysis of operating accounts kept by 600 Indiana farmers. In the prewar period of 1935 '39, average farm expense was about $3,000 anually, Robbins stated. In 1950, it averaged about $15,000. Approximately $1,000 of this rise occurred in the past 2 years. While inflation has been a ma jor influence in boosting ex penses, an increase in the size of farms has contributed to the rise. The average Indiana farm is now about 35 acres larger than 10 years ago. Capital investment has grown from an average of $25,000 to $62,000. Robbins reports that farmers have seven to eight times more cash invested in equipment than they did 10 years ago. Labor costs have risen steadily, but have been balanced to some extent by increased mechanization of farm work, more efficient use of labor and increased crop yields. The answer to keeping costs down, says Robbins, depends on building up a sufficient volume of business to support economical farm units. “Yields per acre will need to be increased,” he said, “and perhaps more land operated to create a sufficient volume of business to keep men and machines fully em ployed.” The middlewest soil improve ment committee points out that a cheap way to increase the vol ume of farm business is by the greater use of fertilizer. Plant food, it says, costs only 50 to 60 per cent more today than it did 10 years ago. Good soil manage ment methods including the use of fertilizer can help boost the av erage yields of major farm crops from 50 to 10 percent in those states. State Will Produce Over 5-Million Hogs Nebraska farmers will produce o\er 5-million hogs and pigs this year, according to projected esti mates of the U.S. department of. agriculture, constituting an in come of about 130 million dollars. Nebraska produces about 4.8 percent of the nation’s total swine ci op, which is expected to top 106-million head this year. Hogs rank as the number 2 cash farm crop in this state, bringing in 15 percent of the total farm income. Cattle rate the top spot. This year’s huge hog crop is expected to be the nation’s sec ond largest on record. Probably an important factor in the current' rise in hog production is the use of antibiotic feed supplements. Reports from farmers in this and other plains states prove that a mong herds fed an aureomycin vitamin B12 supplement, mortal ity is decreased, growth is more rapid and less feed is consumed up to sell-off time. Nebraska’s 1940 hog crop was 16 percent of the state’s total farm income, while the 1930 crop brought 28.9 percent of the total.
