T hese fig u re s re fle c t gross sales only and do not re p re s e n t net in c o m e , Miles said F a rm production costs increased about six percent during 1981, making it a break-even year for many a g r ic u lt u r a l p ro d u ce rs , Miles said. However, the six percent figure "is down significantly from the 1980 average farm production coat increase of 12 percent, and indicates inflation is slowing.” Miles said. A highlight of Oregon agriculture in 1981 was U m atilla County’s wheat p ro du ction . T he county harvested 302,000 acres of wheat w ith an average yield of 75 bushels per acres Total wheat sales for U m a tilla County were $85 m illion, accounting for 29 percent of Oregon’s total wheat sales figure Sm all fruits and berries had the largest increase with total sales up 23 3 per cent. Only tree fruits and nuts recorded losses in sales from last year, both coming down just over two percent G rain sales were up 2 5 percent from last year Prices rem ained about the same and wheat production of 78 m illion bushels topped last y e a r’s record of 77 4 million bushels Miles said th is y e a r ’s p ro d u c tio n w o u ld h a v e ben even higher if the W illam ette Valley wheat crop hadn't been red uced by poor weather and disease Sales of hay and silage dropped slightly from $63 m illion in 1980-81 to $61 8 m illion this year Accor ding to Miles, hay produc tion was about the same as last year, but prices were down $15 to $20 a ton Silage was unchanged in produc tion and price. Grass and legume seeds increased 4.5 percent P ro duction was hurt by poor spring weather and plant diseases for many seed crops The price of annual rye grass seed was up almost 50 percent, and perennial rye gruss seed f ^ ee was up 15 perce t. Field crop sales were up 11 6 percent, or $18 million over last year. Potatoes were the m a jo r cause of the increase, bringing in $13.5 million more in sales than last year T re e fru its and nuts show ed a 2.3 p e rc e n t decrease in sales Apple and cherry prices were up, while bartlett pear prices dropped about 40 percent Sweet cherry production was up 34 percent, to 42,690 tons. Sm all fruits and berries were up $7 million Most of the increase cam e from in creased prices and produc more to greater numbers of cattle being sold than an in crease in p rice,” Miles s a id “ M a n y c o w -c a lf operations had a very hard y e a r e c o n o m ic a lly in 1980-81,” D airy producers had a fairly good year with sales of d airy products up 12-14 percent The increase was p rim a rily due to increases in num ber of dairy cows and m ilk production per cow and a moderate in crease in dairy product prices Sales of eggs and poultry registered an increase of 10 4 percent Production of broilers, turkeys and eggs was up, but turkey prices were at or below the b reak even level. Miles said O th e r liv e s to c k , in cluding sheep, horses and hogs had an increase in sales of 14 9 percent Hog tion of straw berries and raspberries The price of other sm all fruits and ber nes rem ained about the same V e g e ta b le cro p sales were up 8 5 percent Much of the increase cam e from g re a te r production and prices for sweet corn Bush beans were down, largely because of a large c a r ryover from last year and thus fe w e r c o n tra c te d acres S p e c ia lt y c ro p s (nu rseries, greenhouses, bulbs, C hristm as trees, farm forestry) rem ained basically the same F arm forestry sales were down about $9 million, but all o th e r s p e c ia lt y c ro p c a t e g o r ie s w e re up m oderately.
