More Livestock to Be Sold in Iowa in 1939
The article projects a slower rise in 1939 after the 1988 slowdown, with demand modestly improving but not enough to offset growing supplies. Iowa farmers may see slightly lower prices than 1938 while higher total incomes are possible due to larger sales volume. Iowa cash farm income topped 541 million dollars in 1938 and could reach about 600 million in 1939.
