Highlights From the March 2019 Farm Income Forecast

“If realized, inflation-adjusted net farm income in 2019 would be 49.0 percent below its highest level of $136.1 billion in 2013 and below its historical average across 2000-17 ($90.0 billion).” “Inflation-adjusted net cash farm income is forecast to increase $2.7 billion (2.9 percent) from 2018, which nonetheless would be the second lowest real-dollar level since 2009.”

U.S. farmer income plummets $11.8 billion as Trump trade war drags on
