Federal outlook calls for cautious farm expansion in 1929
A 45 state panel in Washington forecasts steady domestic demand for farm products through the year with little change in machinery prices and farm wages slightly lower at harvest. The report warns tighter farm credit may arise from higher interest rates and notes mixed prospects for oats, barley, corn, cattle, hogs, dairying, horses, and poultry with regional variations in Iowa and the corn belt.

Grain Prices Advance as Crop Damage Hits Wheat
Chicago reports a sharp rise in wheat due to poor weather and crop reports from the west and southwest. Demand from North America improves, with Winnipeg handlers stating they sold out across the lakes. Estimates suggest India and Japan may import up to 920,000,000 bushels, while other grains rise and provisions vary amid ongoing market pressures. Livestock markets in St Paul show declines across cattle and hogs, with calves steady to firm and pork products weaker. Minneapolis flour remains unchanged. Indiana standard oil and sugar markets show mixed moves as Toledo notes questionable January imports.
