Iowa Farm Prices Parity Through October Report
Iowa farm prices remained at parity through October as the index for goods purchased held at 123 percent, while the farm price index slipped to 123 from 128. Meat and cattle costs influenced the month, with total August income higher than last year but crop losses reducing overall income. Projections for 1936 expect larger cattle and hog supplies may push prices down in January to June, with heavier cattle moving to feed lots and soft corn affecting beef markets.
