SUBJECT: Farm Income

The real net farm income in 1965 was 15 per cent above the 1960 level. In 1965 it was $14.1 billion; in 1960, $12.3 billion. The increase is due entirely to increased government payments.

Because the number of farmers has decreased, real net income per farm was about one third higher in 1965 than in 1960.

For 1966, the Department of Agriculture estimates a $1 billion increase in net farm increase and a $1 billion increase in government payments. income
