Farm income climbs in 1979 but 1980 outlook grim says USDA
A USDA report shows net farm income rose to 33.3 billion in 1979, matching a 1973 record and beating prior forecasts. But projections for 1980 suggest a drop to 24.4 to 25.2 billion, a 24 to 27 percent decline, even as inflation is not adjusted. Government actions to bolster prices are expected to cushion effects amid the Carter administration pause on Soviet trade.

Values have risen steadily since 1970, with a 9 percent gain from February to November 1979.
