Real Income Of Farms Drops in 1947 Turning Point
Washington AP farm economist Norman J. Wall says real income of farm operators fell in 1947 for the first time since before World War II despite record earnings. After federal taxes, 1947 income buys six percent less for family maintenance than 1946. Prices paid by farmers rise faster than prices received since early 1948, and debt from higher farm prices could lead to financial trouble for many farmers.
