Owa Farm Index Doubled In Year
Special to The Angese reports Ames and Iowa farmers look to spring with hope. The Agricultural Economy Facts circular notes the farm price index rose from 111 to 120 percent of pre war average, driven by higher hog and cattle prices, with grain prices down but livestock gains offsetting. Industrial payrolls rose 16 percent while living costs rose 5 percent, boosting purchasing power for employed workers. Three bright signs for spring are stronger production, the gold clause ruling, and a better crop outlook, despite weak building and rail demand.
