U, 1187 New Holland Sales Stables New Holland Dairy Wednesday, April 22,1987 Report supplied by auction Farm Numbers Decline The number of American farms declined by 60,310 units between 1985 and 1986, according to USDA’s latest estimate. This would represent the largest one-year decline in farm numbers in more than a decade, reports statistician Van Johnson of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The nation’s farm count now stands at slightly above 2.2 million. Last years number was closer to 2.3 million farms, and that was down from around 2.4 million in 1980 and more than 2.5 million in 1975. ROPE IN SOME EXTRA a CASH!
