Economists Tom Stroup and Gordon Nance say this year and next will be good for farmers, though not as strong as wartime highs. They forecast possible softer years starting 1954 or 1955, advise shifting from speculative to safer operations, cutting debt and expenses without reducing income. They do not foresee a depression, but a business recession later. meanwhile household spending exceeds income by about 400 dollars annually.
