The Census Bureau notes Americans gained money in 1977 but 6.5 percent inflation nearly eroded the 7 percent income rise. Median household income hit 15,570 with buying power up only 70 dollars after inflation. The study also traces changing household composition and rising unmarrieds living together, plus differing incomes by race and tenure.
Washington AP reports that Carter proposed cuts totaling 600 million for Social Security, but Rep. Ullman says the measures are not moving this year, delaying changes despite a potential 1980 deficit impact and possible later action. Also noted are the Iran airstrike disruptions and beef price commentary from the National Cattlemen’s Association in Kansas City.
Kansas farmers intend to plant fewer acres to spring crops in 1979, with total prospective acreage for sorghum, corn, oats, barley, soybeans and sugar beets just under 4 million acres. Wheat planted for 1979 harvest remains at 12.1 million acres, up 7 percent from 1978. Area shifts reflect weather, soil moisture, farm program rules, and processing plant closure reducing sugar beet area.
