Agricultural Outlook for 1959 by Farm Economist
United States Department of Agriculture forecasts 1959 net farm income will fall ten percent from 1958 due to higher production. Prices are expected to ease with lower food costs despite strong demand, while production costs rise except for fertilizer and feed. Francis Kutish of Iowa State College notes pork and some vegetables will rise in supplies, hog prices soften, and poultry egg prices dip early 1969 with potential rebound by autumn.

Capital gains rules depend on holding periods and asset type, with losses offsetting gains and big implications for planning. The piece notes the series’ origin and upcoming topics on depreciation deductions.
