Outlook For Agriculture in Canada Reports Rising Farm Income
The Bank of Cree notes Western Canada may see higher cash income for farmers next months due to wheat price rises and expanded dairy and livestock output. Overall Canada could gain about 15 percent in cash income in 1942, totaling around $130 million and pushing farmers’ net income above one billion dollars for the first time since 1928, though higher labor and feed costs temper gains. Wage increases for day labor and monthly wages rose since 1941, while total farm output lagged due to less hired labor. Farm labor supply is tight, with 20 percent less farm labor since the war and 9 percent since the previous war. Brywer help from cities and more women on farms soften the impact. Machinery purchases climbed, with 1941 totaling over $2 million more than 1940, including $1 million for dairy equipment.
