The Iowa Farm Outlook for 1941 predicts higher incomes for farm families with some rise in household and production costs. Crops look favorable for 1940, feed grain supplies dip, livestock supplies hover near current levels, and prices for feed grains and hogs may rise. Beef, lamb, and dairy prospects improve as defense efforts boost demand, while inflation remains unlikely in the near term.
