A farm economist with the Kansas Farm Management Association says gross income for farms is down by at least 20 percent in the state.
The Hutchinson News (http://bit.ly/1M1uPZt ) reports that last year southwest Kansas farmers averaged about $56,000 in accrual net farm income, a $50,000 drop from 2013.
Doug Stucky is currently visiting farms across the region working on year-end planning.
