Lancaster Ag Statistics (Continued from Page Al) reported, was approximately $6,000 to $B,OOO. The dairy buyout program did not affect 1985 figures and will probably have little influence on 1986 statistics since participation here was very low, Irwin said. Poultry farmers also had a good production year, nearly reaching the record-breaking levels of 1983. “The poultry industry recovered quite well,” Irwin said, referring to the outbreak of avian influenza in 1984. County poultrymen raised nearly 42 million broilers and a record-breaking 8.7 million layers that produced eggs valued at $104.5 million. However, Irwin noted, they received about 17 cents less per dozen of eggs than in the previous year. Dairy and poultry farmers suffered their share of price decreases, but cattlemen weathered the the greatest set backs. “The biggest decrease we saw in this whole picture,” Irwin said, “was cattle and calves in dollars.” The county’s cattle industry saw nearly a $l5 million decline in value despite cattle numbers that were down only slightly. Cattle numbered 264,000 in 1985,3,000 less than the previous year, and were valued at $138.6 million. Irwin attributed the loss to falling prices, noting that cattle farmers received 15 to 20 cents less per pound of meat. Declining prices affected the hog market as well, with hog farmers receiving 10 to 12 cents less per pound of pork. A total of 282,000 hogs were valued at $21.7 million, indicating a drop of 22,000 head and $2.3 million. “The pseudorabies outbreak that we had in Lancaster County cer tainly had a detrimental effect on When You Think Seed Corn THINK CHEMGRO We Are Distributors For AGRIGOLD & CHEMGRO SEEDS High Performing Varieties Proven In TTiis Area At Or Below Competitive Prices Call Now For More Information (717) 569-3296 CHEMGRO FERTILIZER CO., INC.

A few large hog operations went under because of the disease and other farmers were reluctant to enter the industry, he explained. Com remained the leading crop in the county with yields close to 1984 levels. County farmers raised 138,000 acres of com for grain and 60,300 acres for silage, but received $4.3 million less for grain and $3.9 million less for silage, Irwin said. The grain crop was valued at $4B million and the silage at $30.4 million. Again, Irwin said, the loss was the result of lower prices. The average price of com slipped 13 cents per bushel and silage prices were down $2.70 per ton. Wheat, barley and oats broke production records but declined in value. Grain farmers raised 17,900 acres of wheat and harvested 54 bushels per acre; 7,500 acres of barley with 68 bushels per acre; and 1,800 acres oats with 78 bushels per acre. The wheat crop was valued at $2.9 million, barley at $841,500 and oats at $175,500. Potato yields also broke previous records, making Lancaster the fourth highest producer in the state. Farmers harvested potatoes valued at $2.3 million from 1,700 acres. County farmers planted 10,400 acres of tobacco, but earned about 19 cents less per pound. Tobacco is the leading cash crop in the county, bringing in $16,548,130. Yield in hay was also good, but dropped $6.8 million in total value. Farmers received an average of $16.50 less per ton than in 1984, Irwin said. Lancaster rated as the second county in vegetable production with 4,276 acres and products valued at $6.3 million, and was seventh in fruit production.
