Farm income may stay up after strong three year rise
Farm income has risen markedly, with only two of fourteen post Civil War expansions showing a larger gain than the current three year stretch. The 1933-35 period saw a 60.2 percent rise, a figure exceeded by the present increase.
Farm income may hold firm into 1936 say Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Historical patterns suggest 1933 35 rise in farm income may endure despite past cycles. The 1912 19 expansion tied to war and credit inflation differs from 1933 35 conditions, and government borrowing this year likely prevents a downturn, implying 1936 income could match or exceed 1935.
