The Agriculture Department reports the overall health of U.S. farming remains sound with projected 1978 net farm income near 25 to 26 billion dollars, driven by high livestock dairy fruit and vegetable prices and modest expense gains. Debt concerns persist among farmers, especially newer ones who expanded with record prices in the 1970s. Credit issues earlier this year affected about twice the normal number of farmers across 12 states, though refinancing and new programs have improved cash flow heading into 1979.
