Notes from the National Agricultural Outlook Conference
The 1959 gross farm income is below the 1958 peak but higher than 1957-58, with lower hog prices and reduced government payments driving the dip. 1960 may see cattle price pressure, higher production costs, and rising taxes. Feed stocks show limited surplus, while a smaller 1960 spring pig crop could lift hog prices. Dairy and poultry markets may improve as consumption catches up.
