1985 Farm outlook foresees lower income for farmers
US Department of Agriculture economists forecast 1985 will bring small food price increases for consumers but lower net cash and farm incomes for farmers. Consumer prices likely rise about 4 percent in 1985, while farmers face net cash income of 31 to 36 billion dollars and net farm income of 19 to 24 billion. Direct subsidy payments are projected at 4 to 7 billion, with no payments-in-kind planned in 1985.
