Farm incomes seen rising for Iowa farmers this year
County Agent Clark Mechem reports higher farm incomes for 1942 after attending a state conference in Ames. Prices for farm inputs have not risen much yet defense orders may squeeze farmers. Experts predict hog prices rise due to reduced marketing while grain fed cattle and dairy outputs improve. Poultry and egg production also rise with strong demand from higher defense payrolls.
