Abstract:
With the expected drop in 1964 tobacco income, North Carolina farmers have several opportunities to help them offset this drop. Given the state's farm economy, there is believed to be enough steam to absorb the tobacco cut without taking a dip in total farm income.

Abstract:
Despite adverse weather conditions in 1959, North Carolina's farm production was good for the year. However, decreased prices cut so sharply into farm income that it has been estimated the total will be about $50 million below the previous year.

Abstract:
Farm market and government payments in North Carolina during 1959 reached over $74 million; however, this was 7 percent lower that the preceding year's total of just over $1 billion. Despite this drop in net income per farm, North Carolina still outranks any other state in the southeastern region in total cash receipts.

Abstract:
According to the revised estimates made by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, over 35,000 fewer people harvested crops from over 258,000 fewer farm acres in 1957 versus 1956. The top crops of corn, cotton, and tobacco all saw a decline in the number of acres farmed with a net loss of over $1 million in principal money crops.

Abstract:
A recent study shows that farm families in North Carolina have low income compared to non-farm family incomes in the state. This lower income is most likely attributed to the high proportion of families living on low-production farms and the large number of members per household. Also, farm incomes are highest in areas where industrialization allows farm works to engage in other types of labor along with farming.

Abstract:
In 1952, North Carolina's farm income will reach the billion dollar mark for the first time. However, the cost has risen at an even faster rate. For 1953, the farmer will have to efficiently product in order to close the narrowing price-cost gap.
