Farm Income Drops

From Farm Policy:
“The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts farm income of $49.1 billion in 2009 when adjusted for inflation. That would be a 39% drop from 2008, a record year when U.S. farmers earned $80.4 billion after expenses.
That's a bigger drop than most in this recession, though housing prices are falling further in some areas, I believe.
