Texas Farm Income Rises Amid National Decline
Texas joined four other states in higher farm income in January through April 1950, totaling $492,264,000 versus $391,371,000 a year earlier. The Agricultural Department noted a national drop of about 9 percent for the first half of 1950, due to lower prices and reduced marketing, with declines in poultry and eggs and expected weakness in wheat and cotton. Other gains occurred in Illinois, Florida, Kentucky, and Oklahoma with modest increases.
