State-federal agricultural statisticians at Purdue university in a preliminary estimate point out that while the number of Indiana farms continues to drop the decline is not as sharp as it has been. From 1959 through 1968 the number had been declining about 4,000 farms a year. The average size of Hoosier -x farms last year is estimated at 178 acres, two acres larger than in 1968. The average size in 1970 is expected to be 179 acres + Total land in farms continued to decrease to an estimated T 7.4 million acres in 1969. A drop of another 200,000 acres is expected during 1970. The nation had an estimated 2.971,000 farms during 1969. three per cent fewer thah in 1968. The preliminary estimate for 1970 indicates 2,895,000 farms will be in operation, another three per cent drop, and the smallest number since 1870.
