Outlook For Indiana Agriculture

LAFAYETTE — A two to five per cent drop in net income of Hoosier farmers can be expected during the next 12 months, compared to that of the last year, according to Purdue university agricultural economists. Hoosier farm purchasing power may decline four to five per cent during that period as a result of continued inflation However, the past year has been a favorable one for most Indiana farmers, the economists point out. Thus, net earnings in the year ahead are expected to be below only the most favorable years of 1965.1969. and 1970. they assert. Indiana farm numbers probably will decline three per cent in the year ahead so "average net earnings per farm are expected to closely approximate the net earnings of the past 12 months." Earnings of individual farmers will be influenced largely by their type of farming and their losses
