Due To
lext Year
STATION—Total de-
„ for farm products Is due to
orop In 1941 and prices received by
farmer* during the coming year
are likely to be below the 1946 av-
Thls is the situation reported by
of the Texas A. and M.
slon Service who at-
the Annual Agricultural
-jrwni-c’ Conference In Washington,
D. C. recently to get the picture on
what to expect In agriculture for
1947, As summed up by the spec-
ialists, the following Is a general
V outlook for farmers next year:
' Although cash receipts from farm
^'marketings and government pay-
ments may be five per cent less
than In 1946, farmers are still like-
ly to receive more money for their
products than they did In 1945, a
near-record year. With Increased
production coats and reduced sales.
It is possible thst the net Income
of farm operators will be reduced
as much as 10 to 15 per cent from
1946. Even with such reduction, the
net farm income will still be near
the high wartime levels of 1943-45.
and about two and a half times the
1935-39 average.
The Increased consumer Income
due for next year is likely to go
more for satisfying cumulated de-
mand for many manufactured
goods, as these become available,
and not for the purchasing of more
farm products.
Also, foreign demand for farm
products is likely to be somewhat
smaller In 1947. Index of prices
received by farmers during 1946 Is
estimated to be about 225, and that
figure is slated to drop the early
part of 1947. Prices In the latter
half of the year may average con-
siderably lower If crops continue
large and exports are greatly re-
duced.
Production expenses are likely to
continue the upward trend which
has prevailed during the war period.
Total farm production costs In 1946
will be about 10 per cent higher
than In 1945, and a further Increase
of aa much as five per cent may
occur next year. The Indicated to-
tal for 1947 will be nearly 50 per
cent greater than In 1920. the high-
est year prior to World War II. In-
creasing prices for nearly all com-
modities used In production are
tlon costs due. One exception Is the
lower prices In sight for feed bought
for livestock.
In the years Immediately ahead,
a higher average Interest rate for
the farm mortgage debt is seen.
Judging from the mortgage debt
trends of the past few years. A
more significant rise In Interest
costs during the comirc* yoar mny
occur In connection with non-real
estate credit. The various creditors
will make loans at about the same;
rates, but to finance larger pur-;
chases farmers will Increase their
debts with dealers and finance com-
panies whose rates are considerably
higher than those of the more usual
lenders—banks and production
credit associations.
Property tax payments made by
farmers In 1947 will be up some-
what from those of 1946. The 1945
levies on farm real estate. Payable
largely late In 1045 and early 1048;
were more than 10 per cent higher
than those of 1944. A further rise
\^£th. ^Uxed net Income
of^rUrators Is estimated a
about 14.7 billion glamor more
than lO per cent above 19
