Farmer Prices and the Maladjustment of Market Value
The piece argues that farm prices create a purchasing-power gap in Maury County. It notes corn at two dollars, wheat at a dollar, hogs at seven cents, and cattle at four rents as bygone prosperity, while today farmers pay more for goods and services yet receive less for their products. It cites rail freight increases, machinery costs, and labor power shifts, with William T. Fenton of the National Bank of the Republic illustrating a low farmer dollar value in October and comparing wholesale and retail purchasing power.
