Prices farmers receive for raw products fell 0.8 percent in October, pushed the index to one of its lowest readings in eight years. Declines in hogs corn soybeans eggs and lettuce offset gains in tomatoes strawberries milk broilers and some grain. The October index was 1.6 percent below a year earlier while farm expenses fell 0.6 percent from July and were down 1.2 percent year over year. Lower feed and fertilizer costs offset higher feeder livestock prices, the Agricultural Statistics Board said.
