Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farm Income Situation: Sept.-Oct. 1949 Both gross and net income are expected to decline further in 1950 - perhaps by percentages not greatly different from those indicated for this year. Such a decline would bring net fam income about a third below its 1947 record high; but it would still be more than double its 1935-39 average. Farmers' cash receipts from marketings in 1949 will probably total close to billion dollars, or 9 percent below receipts in 1948. Total crop receipts are estimated at billion dollars and receipts from livestock and livestock products at billion dollars, down 7 and 11 percent respectively from last year. The total. Volume of sales is a little larger this year for both crops and livestock; so the declines in cash receipts are generally a reflection of lower prices. Cash receipts are expected to be lower this year for all important crops except corn, cotton, sugar crops, and some fruits. The largest relative decline may be about 45 percent in the case of flaxseed, due to reductions in both quantity and price. Wheat, soybeans, and peanuts are each likely to be down about a fifth from last year; tobacco around 15 per cent; and potatoes and other vegetables almost 10 percent. Declines are also expected in cash receipts from sales of feed crops other than corn. Lower prices for corn and cotton are more than offset by the in creased quantities sold. Therefore, cash receipts from cotton and cotton seed will probably be up slightly, and receipts from corn by almost 20 percent. In the case of fruits, increases for apples and citrus fruits will be largely offset by declines for other types.
