Wisconsin farmers face 1949 with high demand but lower incomes
Economists from the University of Wisconsin outline the 1949 outlook in three parts. They warn that despite high consumer demand and strong livestock prices, farm incomes are expected to fall relative to 1948 as costs rise and production remains steady. A potential earnings drop could occur if the postwar boom wanes or inflation pressures ease slowly. The analysis notes defense and foreign aid spending as a key factor supporting current activity.
