Farm Income Down

ward the total field crop income.
Tv.b. ornm i-tiimed a ereater
income than 1963 but were still
down from recent years mainiy
due to a switch in production of
farm crops in north Morrow
county. Commercial potato pro
duction, an important source of
income in some past years, has
been entirely discontinued. The
price of cantaloupes and water
melons was good with an in
creased yield but demand was
slow and many tons of these
crops were left unharvested in
the field.
"There is further demand for
increased acreages of fresh as
paragus and the Birdseye Corp
oration is attempting to contract
additional acres of this crop in
the Boardman-Irrigon area,"
Anderson said. "This holds a po
tential of an important crop for
our north Morrow area if interest
develops."
Beef Income Down
Livestock produced $2,562,000
or 26 59 of the total agricultur
al income. Beef income was
down considerably due to a poor
market year. Sheep and wool
are up, but hog income slumped
to practically nothing. Dairy
contributed an income of $59,
000, down from last year due to
waning interest in this industry.
Not considered in the total
agricultural income this year
were wool subsidy, agricultural
conservation and soil bank pay
ments. Wheat certificate pay
ments totaled $1,351,682; diver
sion payments $93,199, and bar
ley payments totaled $256,741,79.
This income was added to the
value of wheat and barley.

And they're right. They should
