associated with the
Organization of
American States and
sponsored by 26 western
hemisphere coutries.
After eradication of
the disease, the
organization will work
closely with Haitian
officials to reestablish a
domestic hog industry
free of African swine
fever and other swine
diseases.
African swine fever
first invaded the
western hemisphere in
1971., That outbreak, in
Cuba, resulted in a half
million hogs being
1978 record but actual
gross income per farm
rose by only 7.7 percent,
reports Dr. Raymond C.
Smith, head of the
University of
Delaware’s department
of agricultural
economics.
This small increase in
gross income was more
than offset by a 12.7
percent rise in
production costs. This
resulted in a drop in net
destroyed, Mussman
said. The disease was
confirmed in the
Dominican Republic
and Brazil in 1978 and
Haiti in 1979.
income per farm of
more than 4 percent
compared to the year
before. Net income per
farm in 1979 was $27,765
as compared to $28,957
in 1978.
Crops with substantial
income changes in 1979
included: corn up 39.6
percent, soybeans up
18.7 percent, wheat up
99.6 percent,
mushrooms up 13
percent, and nursery
stock up 10 percent. On
the other hand, income
from snap beans
dropped more than 43
percent and for lunas
was down 32.4 percent.
Livestock with sub
stantial income changes
in 1979 included:
broilers up 8 percent,
dairy products up
nearly 11.5 percent,
cattle and calves up 38.7
percent, turkeys up 96.5
percent, and eggs up 9.5
percent. Broilers ac
counted for 55 percent of
the cash farm income
from all sources.
A breakdown of farm
income by counties
shows that Sussex
county accounted for
almost three-fourths of
Delaware’s 1979 farm
income, while New
Castle accounted for
only 8.4 percent.
All the figures aren’t
in yet for 1980, but Smith
says drought conditions
last summer resulted in
substantial reduction in
both com and soybean
yields. Average yield
per acre of corn in 1980
was only 72 bushels,
compared to 102 bushels
the year before.
Soybean yield was 20
bushels compared to a
1979 yield of, 30.
Protecting ahead "from
these figures. Smith
says that - with farm
production expenses
undoubtedly higher in
1980 than in 1979 - we can
expect Delaware’s net
farm income to show a
substantial decrease for
1980.
Smith’s analysis of
the state farm income is
prepared each year as a
service of the Univer
sity of Delaware’s
Agricultural Ex
periment Station. Those
interested in obtaining
the full report should
call their county ex
tension office in Newark
(738-2506), Dover (736-
4675), or Georgetown
(856-5250) and ask for a
