USDA forecast shows farm income decline easing in 2024
The USDA expects US farm income to drop 6.8 percent to 140 billion dollars, softer than February's 25.5 percent projection, aided by higher livestock revenue and lower costs. Iowa remains a top corn, hog, and egg producer with mixed signals for crops and livestock profits. Decreases in corn and soybean receipts contrast with rising egg and cattle receipts, while costs to raise livestock ease.
