Iowa and the United States face rising inflation as a key risk. A farm economist warns that despite good crop prospects for 1948, inflation driven by higher expenditures outpace production. Limited steel and materials curb industry expansion, while farmers struggle with small corn yields and high demand for wheat and oils.
