Economist Arthur Upgrew argues in a Farmers and Merchants panel data piece that 1957 farm per capita income rose to 953 dollars, driven by fewer farmers but higher incomes. He notes total farm income increased, farm output rose, and mechanization boosted prosperity amid a farm population drop. He also defends Benson’s policies amid agricultural income gains and industrial recession, urging adherence to efficient production principles.
