Demand for Rental Farms Increases Across District
The March report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago notes improved farmer sentiment due to higher prices for corn, hogs, and cattle. Banks show borrowings below the credit line for the first time since 1920, with mixed collections and steady old account liquidation. A notable rise in demand for farms to rent and a restocking push as cattle and hog holdings are sold mark a cautious but hopeful agricultural outlook.

April 1 report from Collector Lars Baldine of the Iowa internal revenue department shows a $6,744,018.17 drop in income tax collections for the first quarter of 1922 versus 1921. Total receipts were $4,022,855.74 in 1922 compared to $10,766,073.91 in 1921, while more returns were filed in 1922 despite many being tax exempt. The rise is linked to the gross income threshold of $5,000 triggering more returns.
