  6. 2012 blows the doors off 1973 Net Farm Income in 1973 was $43,358 Net Farm Income in 2012 was $260,813 (Riverland Data) Adjusted for inflation, the $43,358 in1973 dollars act like $223,294 of today’s dollars. Our 2012 Net Farm Income surpassed 1973.

  7. Now a Slide About How I Lied

  8. I adjusted the numbers based on the Consumer Price Index The CPI is a calculation based on a “market basket” sampling of the things that people buy. It is a measure of inflation as it affects most of us. The CPI factor for 1973 compared to 2012 is 5.15 If you bought $10,000 worth of exactly the same amounts of exactly the same things that you did in 1973 as you did in 2012, they would have cost you $51,500 in 2012. Of course, that’s impossible.
