Slight Dip In Farm Income Is Predicted A Purdue university agricultural economist told 65 DeKalb county farmers Tuesday night that general business activity will continue high in 1958, but net income of Indiana farmers is expected to be steady to slightly lower.

W. S. Farm addressed farmers the annual DeKalb county economic outlook meeting held in the assembly room of the court house in Auburn. Farris said a reduction in income from hogs and crops probably will mean lower income for Hoosier farmers. He stated, however, that the net income of U.

S. farmers next year should be substantially unchanged from this year. The economist predicted that prices paid by farmers will rise slightly in the year ahead, and the resulting parity ration will average slightly less than the 81-82 levels for the first eight months of the current year. According to Farris, narrow margins are expected to continue Indiana agriculture in the dec-'ade ahead. The economist said farmers can best offset this trend with improved efficiency and increased volume.
