The Clackamas County gross
agricultural income estimate
for 1973 is nearly $60 million.
This is up 118.5 million over
1972 incom e, according to
C layton W ills , C lackam as
County extension agent.
T otal gross a g ric u ltu ra l
income for the county for 1973 is
estimated at 359,168,000, which
is a 45.7 per cent increase over
the 340,597,000 in 1972.
The largest increase is in the
area of field crops, prim arily
wheat. Field crops show an
increase of 38 million, up from
35,620,000 to 314,233,000 in the
past year, Wills said.
Poultry—broilers, eggs and
turkeys—accounted for a rise
from 310,175,000 to 316,507,000.
The dram atic rise in poultry
income results from higher
prices for all poultry products
and the fact that coats of eggs,
broilers and turkeys to con­
sumers in 1972 were the lowest
in 25 years. This rapid rise in
poultry prices reflects com­
p a ra b le increases in corn,
soybean meal and other feed

much higher production coats,
