WASHINGTON, D. C. -
Recent price weakness is
expected to hold net farm
income this calendar year
down from earlier estimates
to around the 1975 level - with -
a modest gain in realized net
farm income and a small
decline in total net income, if
’the downtrend in cattle
numbers about offsets ex
pected increases in in
ventories of other livestock
and some crops. In looking
ahead to the latter part of
1977, returns to farmers will
likely be better than the last
half of 1976 and early 1977.
This suggests that for
calendar year 1977, average
net farm income may be
much the same as this year,
according to a Summary of
the Agricultural Outlook,
issued by USDA last week.
Farmers realized net
income was $22.7 billion last
year, their net change m
farm inventories, $2.9
billion, giving them a total
net income of $25.6 billion.
