Southeastern Farmers Face Another Good Season in 1949
ATLANTA January 3 Southeastern farmers can expect a better year than 1947 but not as strong as 1948. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta reports mixed prospects with slower November sales, deposits down from a year earlier, and loan growth tapering after late 1948. Net farm income is expected to dip about eight percent from 1948 due to higher costs, while 1949 demand may hold with continued activity. Cotton acreage likely rises as farmers approach a last year of assured parity. peanut acreage drops could reduce income, offset by other crops. Tobacco exports trended downward, while livestock prices remain high with pork gains and beef, veal, and lamb supplies expected to fall. Construction contracts set a district record for January–October, though October 1948 compared with September shows a drop. costs rise but slower than 1947. Employment increases in wholesale and retail, with a slight rise in manufacturing but lower construction work. The Sixth District includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

County farmers averaged about 35 bushels of corn per acre and yielded over 50 bales of cotton from roughly one bale per acre, with hay crops strong and more cotton stored for potential CCC marketing. Banks hold over $1,000,000 in cotton notes, backing farmer equity and future proceeds if cotton prices rise.
