US Agriculture Department economists say the farm price parity ratio is shaping 1973 into the best year in a decade. The January reading was 80 percent and February 82 percent, the highest for single months since mid 1966, while 1972 averaged 74 percent, rising from 1971 due to higher livestock and grain prices.
By February the USDA reported record high prices received by farmers while prices paid to meet expenses also hit a record, keeping parity debate alive. Economists split on the 1910 14 base ratio, with some seeing short term signals and others calling the formula outdated. Net farm income surged to about 19 billion in 1972, though analysts warned inflation may ease later, and meat and crops head to markets in fall.
