Farm income and prices hint at slow postwar recovery
The Alexander Hamilton Institute analyzes that farm income remains tightly linked to factory output. With 1935 per capita farm income around 57.5 on a 1923-25 base, factory production would need a 57.6 index, while 1929 goods output sat at 1109 and a 518 price index would have been needed to restore activity. Recovery in 1936 hinges on rising farm income or lower manufactured prices, though even then activity may not reach 1929 levels.
