Wheat parity ratio hits 1954 high aided by Russian wheat deal
Unofficial USDA calculations place the 1973 farm parity ratio at its highest since 1954, aided by export demand and the Russian wheat deal. Farm prices rose 1.5 percent from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15, while the parity ratio held at 90 percent. Exports and rising costs boosted farmer income, signaling favorable conditions for 1974. The report ties the surge to record farm income and strong export demand, noting the impact on the broader economy.
