Sharp Drop In Farm Prices Seen
William Pendergast, county agricultural agent in St Lawrence County, warned of a potential major drop in farm prices in 1947 if exports fall, production remains high, and business activity slows. Milk demand may stay strong through mid 1947, but prices could fall faster than some costs, though dairy incomes in early 1947 should match those of early 1946.
