Federal Reserve Official Sees Worse Agriculture Outlook
Kansas City based Federal Reserve official Marvin R. Duncan warned at a Midwest conference that 1985 will bring lower farm income and more rural bank failures. He projected weaker crop prices with declines in corn and soybean values, slight gains for livestock, and a possible bottoming of the farm downturn within one to two years if policy improves. Duncan noted rising farm debts and ongoing agricultural bank failures but urged that the system is not near collapse.
