Excerpt from The Farm Real Estate Situation, 1936-37, 1937-38, and 1938-39The effect of the reduction in income during the past year on the financial position of farmers was offset to some extent by a reduction in the prices paid by farmers for commodities used in production. After remaining constant from 1935 to 1936, prices paid by farmers for such commodities increased materially in 1937. A substantial decrease in 1938 brought the level back to slightly below the 1935 average. Prices for machinery, building materials, equipment and supplies, and seed, were all higher in 1938 than in 1935, while prices for feed and fertilizer were lower. Prices for all items except ma chinery and equipment and supplies were lower in 1938 than 1n the previous year, machinery prices increasing about 4 percent while equipment and supplies were unchanged.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
