Keen Appetites Keep Farm Prices High
The Agriculture Department reports strong domestic demand for food sustains high farm prices, aided by expectations of larger exports and speculative buying. Despite higher food costs since controls ended, per capita consumption remains above prewar levels, with total income payments at peacetime records and rising. Prices are seen holding high into the coming months, then likely easing in the second half of the year by as much as 20 percent due to an anticipated industrial recession. Agricultural income for the first four months is projected at 7.7 billion dollars, up from 6.1 billion, driven by higher prices across crops and dairy products with notable increases in annual farm price averages.
