Farm Marketing
Income Increase
Farmers' cash reccpits from
marketings in November art es
timated at 3.1 billion dollars. 14
percent less than in October but
8 percent more than a year ago.
The expected decline from Oc
tober is a reflection of seasonally
smaller marketings, as prices will
probably average about the same.
Higher prices, however, will ac
count for any increase in cash re
ceipts over last year.
Receipts from livestock and
products in Novembei may total
about 1.6 billion dollars, It per
cent less than in October but
nearly Hi) percent more than in
November ol 11)41). Both market
ings and prices may bi down
slightly from October, but ih< v
will be considerably above those
of a year ago.
November receipts from meat
animals may be as much as 30
percent higher than last Novem
ber, though somewhat below the
October level.
Ri eeipts from dairy products in
November may he about 8 per
cent less than in the previous
month because marketings will be
down seasonally, but they will
probably be about the same as
last November.
On the other hand, receipts
from poultry and eggs may he
about 15 percent above October
as a result of seasonally larger
sales of eggs and turkeys, and
probably about the same as a
year ago.
Crop receipts in November are I
estimated at 1.5 billion dollars, |
10 percent below the seasonal i
peak in October and probably j
Close to those of a year earlier.
