Farm Income to Pass Ten Billion This Year
Federal economists predict farm income will exceed 10 billion dollars in 1941, the highest since 1929, aided by strong demand, government purchases, and parity loan programs. Wheat and cotton incomes differ, with wheat rising toward 1929 levels while cotton lags, though overall income climbs due to loans and subsidies. The sector anticipates larger production in dairy, poultry, and fats, oils, and oilseeds, with benefits from improved demand and prices.
