Hi jimko,

Phew - I knew it had to be somewhere and I finally managed to dig it
out. I've made a list for you, but please go to the USDA website to
see more details. Also, I've no idea how the list will format here, so
you may need to download the Tables anyway.

U.S. and State farm income data:
http://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/farmincome/finfidmu.htm

Scroll down to United States by program, 1933-2003
Select either 1996 - 2003 or 1933 - 1995 and click Submit
If you have trouble opening the documents, try Excel - it worked for me.
