CASH RECEIPTS AND FARM INCOME

Released:  August 2007                                                                                                                                                                

No. 971-1-07

NET FARM INCOME UP 21 PERCENT

Net farm income in New York increased 21 percent in 2005 to $1.11 billion.  Livestock output value increased slightly to $2.31 billion and while crop output value decreased slightly to $1.29 billion. Purchased inputs decreased 7 percent to $1.75 billion while direct government payments increased 74 percent.

Decreases in purchased inputs for feed, seed, pesticides, electricity, repair and maintenance, machine hire and custom work, marketing, storage and transportation expenses and miscellaneous expenses more than offset increase in costs for livestock and poultry purchases, fertilizer and lime, petroleum and oils, and contract labor.

Of other agricultural costs, property taxes were up 20 percent.  Interest costs increased 16 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.
