Imports Show 1935 Not Peak For Farm Goods
Officials say farmers misread imports by comparing 1935 with 1932 and1985. Data from the U S Department of Agriculture shows 1920 was the peak year for competitive agricultural imports, with 1935 not the largest for hogs cattle canned beef or butter. Wheat and corn saw high 1935 levels, offset by drought and the agricultural adjustment program reducing yields and income in 1934.
