Iowa State college economists summarize 21 Iowa county farms showing average net income fell in 1926 by about 31000 from 1925 due to inventory changes and depreciation. Cash on hand rose, but most farms still posted profits after wages and interest for 15 of 21 farms, with 6 showing losses. Investments in land yield lower turnover than equipment and livestock.
