Outlook Report Sees Higher Farm Income in 1935
The 1935 outlook predicts farm income rise in the first half of 1935 from 1934 levels due to reduced supplies and firmer consumer buying power. Production is expected up from 1934, though foreign demand remains weak. Prices for production inputs are higher, meat output falls, and dairy and poultry sectors face varied prospects amid drought and credit constraints.

Feeder Shipments Drop 30 Percent in Iowa Corn Belt
A 30 percent fall in feeder and stocker shipments in October signals fewer cattle on feed this winter in Iowa and surrounding areas. The October decline follows higher shipments in earlier months versus 1933, as farmers move cattle to farms to salvage unharvested crops or hold for finishing. Prices show the steepest drop for choice cattle, while lower grades fell less, with the Iowa farm price for beef cattle at $56.0 per head on Oct 15, up from $45.5 in 1933.
