Iowa farm income may near 1943 peak despite dips in livestock
Des Moines AP reports state statistician Leslie M. Carl says there is a fair chance Iowa farm income this year will approach the 1943 record of 1.637 billion dollars due to a large carryover of livestock. First five months show 20 percent higher income than 1943, but later months likely fall short as hogs, cattle, and sheep numbers are down and the corn crop faces frost risks.
