USDA outlook shows 1984 farm income rising from 1983 low
The Agriculture Department reports 1983 net farm income fell to 16.1 billion, the lowest since 1971, but projects 1984 income may reach 30 to 34 billion. Net cash income rose to 40.1 billion in 1983, likely slipping to 34 billion in 1984 as production costs rise. Farm plantings increase 11 percent with higher crops and livestock prices expected to support modest meat price gains.
