PICKLES COULD MEAN $2 MILLION INCOME FOR

KENTUCKY FARMER How a any pickles will

two million dollars buy? Kentucky farmers may find out next year , says- Hubert W. Davis , UK Extension vs getable spec ia l i s t . Kentucky'* 1968 crop of

cucumbers g rown under contract to pickle processors

.could— bring a -two million dollar-income--to Kentucky farmers if the s t a t e ' s total acreage quota i s contracted and if average yields are obtained, he says .

This s t a t e ' s cucumber acreage has moret han doubled and income from th is crop has more than tripled s ince 1964, Davis points out. In

• 1967, Kentucky farmers planted 3,790 acres of cu-cumber acreage ever planted in the s ta te .

Kentucky farmers have been offered an opportunity to erow an additional 600

i a c re s mote in 1968. With a 5 per cent Increase over the price paid for cucumbers in 1967. Although the 1967 growing

season was considered very poor, 4 3 producers received more than $1,000 an acre for their cucumber crops this pas t year—the average in-come for these 43 producers w a s SI, 128' per acre. Miles Tomes,' Butler county, had the top yeild, with a $1.506 per acre average. In add-ition, 98 other growers re-ceived $800 or more per acre for their cucumbers. Their average cash ' expense was $50 an acre. Davis notes that the s t a t e ' s

average yield per acre was down about 50 .bushels in 1967, profeably because of cool, wet weather at plant-ing time and excess ive rain-fal l duringt he harvest period.

With normal weather con-dit ions in 1968, y i e lds should be much higher, he says . More information on grow-

ing cucumbers under con-tract i s available from your county Extension office.
