Drop in Farm Prices Reflects Sharp Storage Decline
Prices paid to farmers fell four points in the month ending January 15 while Pennsylvania’s farm price index stands at 70, thirty points below the 1910 14 average and the U S index at 51 nine points below pre war levels. Machinery and building materials exceed pre war averages, but fertilizer seed and feed are below. Storage in cold warehouses shows dramatic declines with butter down from 544 620 to 12 952 pounds and other meats and cheese also reduced. Experts believe lower storage will lift prices and demand later in the year.
