Linn Co. Crop
Income Drops
ALBANY Linn county's gross
Income f.om 1953 farm market
ings was $18,820,000, a drop of 5
per cent from 1952, according to
estimates released Wednesday by
County Extension Agent O. E.
Mikesell.
Lower prices for livestock, pep- I
permint, some seed crops and
farm forest products, and a fur
ther decline in turkey numbers
were the principal reasons for the
over-all decrease. Coupled with
the lower gross income, Mikesell
said, is a decline in net return to
farmers because of higher costs
of purchased items and increased
taxes and interest rates.
The value of 1953 seed crops
was $5,000,000 which is the coun
ty's No. 1 source of income. Prin
cipal seed crops are common
ryegrass, perennial ryegrass, alta
fescue, chewings fescue, highland
bentgrass, hairy vetch, common
vetch, and Austrian peas. Linn
county continues to lead the state
In the production of seed crops
primarily because of common
ryegrass.
