Outlook 1923 for Farmers Despite Depression Lows
A 1922 retrospective notes most farmers rose from the Depression valley toward improved conditions. Crops were generally good and prices higher, with farmers’ receipts up by at least a billion and a half dollars. Costs fell through lower labor and freight rates, and more sound legislation and cooperative marketing boosted prospects. Some regions faced drought, high taxes, and freight costs, but overall momentum supports continued improvement into 1923.
