CASH RECEIPTS AND FARM INCOME

Released:  July 2006

No. 971-1-06

NET FARM INCOME UP 15 PERCENT

Net farm income in New York increased 15 percent in 2004 to $638 million.  The value of livestock production was 2.30 billion, up 20 percent.  Purchased inputs increased 13 percent to $2.17 billion while direct government payments decreased 49 percent. 

Decreases in purchased inputs for seed purchased, livestock and poultry purchased and contract labor were more than offset by increases in feed purchased, fertilizer and lime, pesticides, electricity, repair and maintenance of capital items, marketing, storage, and transportation expenses, and petroleum fuel and oils.

Of other agricultural costs, property taxes were up 5 percent.   Interest costs increased 3 percent.

NET VALUE ADDED

The value-added format is used to present income accounts, replacing the traditional net farm income format.  The underlying accounting concepts are the same under both formats and the value for net farm income is identical.  The presence of more disaggregated  components  under  the  value-added  format  makes it  easier  to  discern  what  forces  are  driving  the  changes  and  trends  in  farm  income.  In  addition,  the  value  added  approach to  sector  accounting  is  the  format  accepted  and  utilized  internationally, making comparisons across countries more feasible.
