Article Summary

According to the Department of Agriculture, net farm income will fall from $91.1 billion in 2014 to $58.3 billion in 2015, a 36 percent drop and the largest percentage decline since 1983.  Falling prices on corn and soybeans are responsible for a portion of the decline in income, as are lower prices for dairy products, hogs, and chickens. The USDA is, however, predicting lower production costs due to falling prices for energy, seed, fertilizer, and pesticides.
