Idaho extension economist R W Wilcox says farm prices likely ease in 1949 while costs stay high, narrowing farmers’ net income. He cites continued demand and price supports as shielding against a collapse, with government spending depending on the international situation and potential wage hikes next spring. Wilcox notes soft spots in consumer demand and uncertain export markets, especially for dried fruits and wheat.
