Minnesota farmers face higher incomes in early 1972
University of Minnesota economist Wesley Sundquist predicts that farm incomes in Minnesota will rise in the first half of 1972, aligning with a national trend. He cites higher marketings and government payments, firm livestock and soybean prices, strong consumer demand, lower feed costs, and potential relief from higher corn payments and feed grain prices. Cash receipts for 1971 were slightly below 1970, with 1971 farm price results showing corn at 9 cents per bushel, soybeans at 2.79, cattle at 26.50 per cwt, hogs at 18.80, and milk marketing at 4.84 per cwt. overall 1971 receipts near 2,015 million with net income near 638 million.
