Iowa farmers see record cash income and higher purchasing power in 1941
Ames reports Iowa farm cash income may rise about 12 percent in 1941, reaching 815 million dollars, the highest since 1919, aided by stronger non agricultural wages and record industrial output. Corn prices are expected higher on demand but may dip after harvest due to space limits. Lamb and butter markets remain positive while cheese prices stay strong due to government purchases. Milk production remains high.
