 *Receipts for 1995 are included to indicate the relative importance of each enterprise to the farm. Percents
   indicate the percentage of the total receipts accounted for by the livestock categories and the crops.
**Acreages for 1995 are included to indicate the relative importance of each enterprise to the farm; these values
   reflect acreage reduction percentages that year. Total planted acreage may exceed total cropland available due
   to double cropping. Percents indicate the percentage of total planted acreage accounted for by the crop.
