Outlook For Farm Income Not Bright

The 1971 outlook shows lagging livestock returns due to higher feed costs while crop receipts rise. Strong crop prices and expected gains in crop marketings may lift gross farm income slightly above 1970, with livestock receipts holding steady and government payments likely lower. A midyear demand rebound could boost livestock prices in early 1971.
