Farm Income Expected to Rebound
Washington AP Economists with the Agriculture Department forecast a rebound in net farm income later in 1981, predicting an annual rate higher than 1980 after a weak first quarter. They estimate Q1 at 17 to 19 billion and Q2 at 23 to 25 billion, with total 1981 income still above last year’s 22 billion despite drought and rising costs. Meat production is expected to decline 3 to 4 percent below 1980 in April to June.
