Nebraska expects gross farm income to surpass a half billion dollars in 1929 marking a new all time high. Figures from Lincoln show 1928 total at 471.8 million with crops valued at 156.8 million and livestock at 314.99 million. Corn production is projected to rise to 240.6 million bushels while winter wheat may drop 25 percent, yet higher prices are expected to compensate.
