Maryland
Agriculture Is
Financially
Strong
ANNAPOLIS, MD A recent
survey completed by the Mary
land Department of Agriculture
shows that agriculture in Mary
land is in good financial shape.
Overall, Maryland commercial
farm operations have smaller
debts than the national average
and higher income.
‘‘Agriculture is still Maryland’s
number one industry,” said Mary
land’s Secretary of Agriculture
Wayne A. Cawley Jr.
‘The financial position of the
majority of Maryland agricultural
operations is relatively strong.
Our debt is not overwhelming and
we can still make money. Credit
for this goes to the ingenuity and
stubbornness of the Maryland
family farmer. We are a sturdy
lot,” Cawley said.
Fifty-nine percent of Maryland
farm operators carry no farm
related debt. At the same time,
Maryland cash farm income aver
aged $29,075 in 1988 up 8 percent
over 1987. The Maryland Depart
ment of Agriculture expects 1989
farm income to top all previous
highs.
