Reserve Bank Sees Small Drop In Farm Income
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago forecasts only a modest decline in farm income and cash receipts in the coming year. Net income fell four percent and cash receipts were three percent below projections in the July to September period. Midwest farmers may fare better than the nation, with receipts dropping about half as much as the national average. Wheat and cotton are expected to drive the overall decline as acreage and 1955 crop support levels are cut back.
